   It's a bit to unroll but I was responding to someone who called April 
Fools
jokes "hateful and bullying". And my response that my accuser was unable to
see the obvious parody is, according to Adam, "egregious and beyond 
excuse".
OK, well if that's the standard....

   Just to remind everyone, on this thread alone:

   - I've been accused, without evidence, of being "captive to a 
political ideology
      and world view that is antithetical to the objective of creating 
an Internet
      that is for everyone" and Adam said nothing about that;

   - I've been accused, without evidence, of taking part in some wild 
conspiracy
      involving being in the service of the mistress of an unnamed 
Russian diplomat
      and vague accusations of Holocaust denial and antisemitism, and 
again Adam
      said nothing about that.

I'd be a bit more accepting and understanding of the types of norms that
people are suggesting for these lists if their standard was applied 
uniformly.

   Dan.
