I love CCC more and more.
Somebody behaved in a clearly inpolite way.
Many other members reacted to blame the initial post, but no insult was
thrown.
I think I would call this an "auto moderated discussion group".
Congratulations to everyone (except Sean Evans). I don't believe we need
to discard the original offending message. Moderation has been done by
the group himself.
I hope Sean Evans is going to moderate himself too. You are welcome in
this group Sean, as long as your words to go too far. Anyway, your point
about Ed's mail has been discussed. This was interesting, but please
respect other members if you want to be respected too.
