  Re: wish's
 
(...) First, this has nothing to do with rtlToronto. Some of our members may dislike Larry, some may like him. In general, the sentiment up here tends to lean to the former from what I can tell. Regardless, it has nothing to do with the group (...) (20 years ago, 3-Mar-05, to lugnet.admin.general)  
 
  Re: wish's - Contest canceled
 
Todd, since you responded, and this is your sandbox, I will respectfully withdraw the contests, out of regard for Lugnet. After all I do like the place. You have made your point clear and I will respect your wishes, this contest was of my own doing (...) (20 years ago, 3-Mar-05, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)  
 
  Re: wish's

  Re: Lugnet should be MORE draconian
 
OK, maybe we really do need two different discussions to happen, but the two are inextricably intertwined. Filters would catch the slips and that'd be a Good Thing(TM).

  Re: Lugnet should be MORE draconian
 
The problem is that we're not dealing with momentary issues where someone mistypes or whatnot. Willy went out of his way to use a cuss, and then went out of his way to obfuscate the Admin's process of dealing with his cuss. A filter won't deal with (...)
