As people on this list remember, I was dealing with a real problem child on my lists awhile back. Many people on this list gave me very good advice and suggestions on what to do with the net.jerk, who was claiming that if I filtered him, I would be denying him his rights under the First Amendment. Well, I got rid of him, but he is now going after another listowner in anthropology. This person is Dr. James Dow, who runs a Majordomo list that has a private membership to start with. My problem child (let us call him RJ for easy reference) crashed the list and began his usual pattern of accusations and demands, including calling Dr. Dow names on the public list. Since Dr. Dow is running a Majordomo list, he is not on our forum here, and has given me permission to post his email address <[log in to unmask]> and ask for help. The legal department at Oakland University is worried that RJ is correct in insisting on his First Amendment rights, and Dr. Dow is unclear as to what to do. As of this afternoon, he had filtered the problem child, but would like comments from others on his legal stand. Jim Cocks, could you send that information on what the University of Kentucky's legal counsel decided? If others could send support to Dr. Dow, I'm sure that he would appreciate it. Until I contacted him, he thought that he was the only listowner being attacked. I reassured him that there were at least three of us and perhaps we should form a separate list? Thanks.
