Aldo--
You did not have to delete the people right away. You should
have reminded them of the listserv protocol from Paris which
forbids politics and propaganda on the internet, although a
lot of people are unaware of this provision. The protocol and
conventions are designed to help you overcome any tumult on
your list with the least force possible. There are several
other sections which forbid business per se and other
undertakings which might offend participants in the internet.
Perhaps, someone who has the document readily at hand could
post the pertinent sections of the protocol to help listowners
in similar situations. You were right to stop the tumult. I
was on one list which destroyed itself in this type of
violence and have seen others where very hostile comments were
needlessly exchanged.
Best regards,
Paul.
