Count me in. It was toxic from the start and I see no redeeming value in continuing to read about something which appears to me as a ploy to get visitors to his blog. <div><br></div><div>Ching<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Are you complaining that people are publicly announcing that they are now<br>
filtering someone who has been disruptive?<br>
<br>
If so, you're going against longstanding Internet tradition (since before it<br>
was called the internet). A public shunning ("plonk!") is nearly always a<br>
sign that someone of respect in a community has finally "had enough" of<br>
someone who doesn't "play well with others", and is a call-to-action for<br>
others to join the same shunning.<br>
<br>
In some places I've been, your complaint about this well-established process<br>
might itself have earned you a similar plonking. However, I'm willing to<br>
accept your reaction as merely being uninformed. You are now informed. :)<br>
