[blparent] (Private) Americanisation defiance act

Thank you for your swift and sure response, Steve and Dave. I was out of town, but people like this are horrifying. It's best to remove them and block them with the least amout of fuss possible.

Well, clearly this message was meant to be private, but I hope that we can learn something from all this.  Sorry to clutter the list.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Judy,

I am writing privately since you have likely unsubscribed.  Dave Andrews blocked this guy from all of our lists shortly after your note.
Unfortunately, we believe we have blocked him before under other names.  It is impossible to know in advance that someone is subscribing under a new name.

Please understand that replying angrily to a guy like this on the list is exactly what he wants.  Our best defense is to ignore him and then block him.  I feel badly that you felt his posts meant Blind-Talk was taking a bad turn.  It is impossible to watch lists twenty-four hours a day, and to interpret lack of immediate action as meaning his messages were seen as acceptable by us is truly unfair.  

Anyway, I wanted to be sure you know that he was blocked, but if he should come back by another name at some point it is best to just ignore him and let Dave take action.  

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

The post regarding residents of southern states is clearly off topic for this list.  The characteristics described arise from lack of opportunity which can and has happened in any state and in any part of the world.  It makes more sense to figure out how to increase opportunity than to paint areas of the country with a broad brush.  

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson, List Moderator

Bob,
I am like you an American.  I can speak for no other than myself.  I am from South Carolina and I'm currently working on a Masters Degree.
I am uncertain as to the point of your message.  Yes, you are correct their are Some whom embody the traits above - but not all of us.
Painting all of us with a broad brush in such a way is implying we all feel this way.
More importantly, i do not believe messages such as the one you delivered belong on a list such as this.  To my knowledge, this list is for people who are blind and are or someday may be parents.  Furthermore I understood this group to be a place where we can gain knowledge from those who have greater knowledge on a subject.

If you're writing this to spark discussion - well done, but I do not believe this is the forum for such a discourse.

Sincerely,
Nancy - an educated, Protestant Southerner
