While I agree with this, I have seen a lot of unnecessary abuse of 
people on the list by one or two individuals, whose emails I bin.

I do not see why my comments would be considered flaimbait.  I was 
suggesting that the list might be a pleasanter place, if people were 
just to ignore posts from those that have a tendency to be abusive, they 
would then be less likely to post such messages in the future.  I 
thought that I would not have to spell it out in such great detail and 
was not just making throw-away comments.

In addition I would also much rather have a few emails with no content 
than one abusive email.

That is not to say that I am not a fan of argument; however there are a 
number of ways to do this constructively and there are a couple of 
people who choose not to do so.

You are not in my blacklist.  I am sad that I am in yours, I would not 
intentionally post anything that would offend someone.  I would rather 
drop out of a conversation.

Kind regards
