[Imc-aotearoa-ed] Re: [Imc-aotearoa] Re: hidden DK's comment about periods

[YudA]

I personally don't think I am being petty about this
eric is a known spammer and his stuff get hidden check
out the hidden files from say a month ago before Dk's
latest tirade I would say offhand 90% of the malitious
posts we hid would have been from eric. Paul Holmes
has not been identified as a spammer so this is a
different argument.

About the offensive to women part, that's why I have
been careful to state rather than offensive to women
that the posts I have hidden  I have stated that they
are attacking A-IMC staff.  Anyway as Clair pointed
out she has been putting up with Dk's crap for about
18 months so I think we are in danger of alienating
clair just to appease Dk.

I feel we are inconsistant at the moment we give Dk a
hell of a lot more latitude than any other spammer
