First of: Congrats and thank you Ronald for this work.
What makes me a bit sad is, that posting this here immediately starts a
discussion about what is expected behavior on these lists, rather than
how we could combat abuse more efficiently.
It seems a seeminglu, to me at least, humorous remark, sparks more
discussion than the troubling fact that criminals have the time of their
lives during this period of time.
I'm all in favor of staying civil on public fora. But noting in the
original post was not civil. I am wondering what the we want to achieve
here on the anti-abuse list? Call me stupid, but I just don't get it.
Best
Serge
