[Taxacom] Anyone else wish this statement was honored?

[Weitzman, Anna]

I always understood that this list is about free expression of *relevant* information.  While I don't always read all of John's posts (or anyone's for that matter), they are about relevant topics and I certainly believe in his right to state them to the list.  

We all have the right to delete the posts that we don't want to read.

I think you are nearly alone, Scott. John Grehan's arguments do actually
generate interesting retorts and counter-arguments.

If we bully away John, where do we stop? Michael Heads is a
panbiogeographer, too. How about Ken Kinman, he talks a lot about his
own enthusiasms. And what about this guy Zander?

This summer members of this list received the following posting on
Taxacom:

"I have had a good number of years of interesting discussions, but legal
threats are not
something I want to contend with. This is my last posting.

John Grehan"


Am I alone in my opinion that I'd love to have Mr. Grehan honor his
statement permanently?  I'm really tired of all his nutjob arguments.
It would be great to have the list's topics of discussion return to
science based taxonomy (as was the case during his all too short
absence).
