I never said that.  I said your idea was wrong because it puts the
onus on the wrong people.  You would punish the innocent to avoid
inconveniencing the guilty.

It's a sad day when we must resort to moderation because people can't
be bothered to be respectful of the purpose of the list.

This list *has* police.  They're called list administrators, and they
can blacklist whoever they feel is appropriate, since this is their
list and we're here at their sufferance.  I'm not an admin, and I
don't think this is an appropriate case for such drastic measures.

Not "my image".  The list is the "Fedora" list.  It's purpose is in
its name.  It's not the "Betty Crocker" list, or the "triathlon" list,
it's the "Fedora" list.  It's not the "building my computer" list.
None of this is my *opinion*, it's what the list *is*.
