Scholarship, as well as Democracy, thrives best on the open market of 
ideas, the free and open debate of differing opinions (minority or 
majority). It is difficult to have a one-sided conversation, or at least 
not very productive. The minority can be wrong, but also change and 
innovation are often begin in the minority. Creativity comes from thinking 
outside the box. Etc. To tell others to shut up merely because they don't 
represent the majority opinion is unhelpful, undemocratic, and against the 
culture of the Net, as well as the open policy of this list: open and free 
discussion on JavaScript topics, open to all, newbie and seasoned 
professional - which means minority ideas will exist, and deserve to be 
discussed (AS LONG as they are JavaScript related).

Now everyone involved, take a deep breath, for any more outbursts, by 
anyone, I don't care who you are, and you will be unsubscribed from this 
list. My apologies for not getting on this sooner, my local Internet 
service provider was not functioning over the weekend, and so I had no 
Internet access until I got to work (and after the morning staff meeting).
