But also fine with it according to the rules.  It was just a mildly humerous
way to emphasize the point.  I wasn't saying the OP was a dirtbag, only that
the information he'd given suggested it as a possibility that others would
have to consider before granting his request.

However all this is aside from the main point, which is that the rules are
being applied selectively.  I'm quite sure that if anyone else had posted
that reply nothing would have come of it.

Selectively applying the rules is particularly wrong when James himself
doesn't adhere to them.  I'm still waiting for James to tell us whether his
last outburst indicated a relaxing of the rules or whether he will now put
himself on moderation.  I doubt anyone here would disagree that if I had
said about anyone what he said about me, that would trigger moderation or
booting me off the list completely.
