Correct. Dictature is a Roman Democratic mode. It does exist in the French constitution and in many others.
Would you accept to be banned for six months without the possibility to object?
If I was being blatantly disruptive I'd expect to get banned
The point is the evaluation and the warning of that blatantliness. We must have rules. Also, because what you consider as intrusive can be considered as informative by others it is better to devise a system where everyone is happy. I proposed one. But I agree, mailing lists are not a good way to work on-line. But this is the most easy to set-up. There are others like http://www.igloo.org etc. jfc
