[Seattle-editorial] Dennis Bejin

Many people think we should let Dennis continue to
post. I agree with this but also think that the
statement below has a lot of validity.

If he continues with the same self-referentiality and
repetitive items perhaps we should act. How many times
must we hear from him, that he is happy we are here
for him to post his articles. What if every poster to
the newswire also posted a thank-you note with a
continuation of their rant amended to the end of it?

It seems to me that the newswire would quickly get
unwieldy. I agree that we should continue letting him
post but if he continues with the same sort of content
and at the same rate (daily) we should think about
taking action.
