It was me, the moderator. And I'm not about to discipline myself. I'm really fucking sick of Carrol Cox's nastiness, and his know-it-all habit of attributing positions and intentions to people. My Cheney moment came right after watching him attribute motives - specifically, appeasing anti-abortion zealots - to Katha Pollitt, of all people, on another list.
I've met Carrol a couple of times, and found him an amiable fellow. In cyberspace, he's anything but. It'd be nice if he could be more like his meatspace personality when typing.
