Gottfried,

Ah! Good point! But it's irrelevant. We are trying here to develop some type of rational response system to KOOKS. It matters not what prospective contributors think, or what they may, or may not know, about what's being explored here.

We aren't making rules. We aren't suggesting anyone alter their behavior. We aren't suggesting anything in the way of limiting anyone's freedom.

What we are doing is--> developing a response system to use when KOOKS disrupt the free exchange of ideas, run off people with much to contribute, and break the rules developed by the founders of this web site.

>I respect your contributions to SI very much! But aren't you getting carried away?

Only to the extent that KOOKS get carried away. When the KOOKS leave, I'll go away. Nothing would be nicer than have no need for this thread.

It is my personal opinion that the counterproductive and disruptive antics of KOOKS require at least a measured response of some sort. Again, that's what we're trying to explore here. We're trying to develop some answers. Break new ground. Push back the frontiers of what is and isn't known about this particular subject.

Yes, perhaps I am getting a bit carried away. But then--it seems to me the KOOKS get a bit carried away too. Are they to prevail?
