I'm sorry about this, everyone. Daniel seems to have done some scraping
and compiled a list of addresses on his own, from his
libreplanet-discuss archives. This is the list he's encouraging people
to BCC.
People did not voluntarily join that BCC list, and there is no
unsubscribe or opt-out link. In many countries, unsolicited bulk email
is illegal, so probably not a good idea to BCC your messages to it.
He's encouraging people to do things that will make the messages appear
to be coming from the libreplanet-discuss list -- but they are not. If
unsure, check the message headers -- messages actually from the mailing
list will have an "@libreplanet.org" Return-path.
He did create the other opt-in mailing list he let everyone know about,
so I'd suggest joining up there if you want to continue the
conversations with him. That way, conversations can continue between
people who are actually consenting to them.
I think everyone can see from the past couple of weeks that we aren't
censoring or even discouraging critical conversation here. We're just
not going to have people subverting the very framework of voluntary
respectful conversation, and definitely not anyone implying that people
are responsible for others' *deaths*, or continuing personal harassment
campaigns that have been blocked in other forums.
There may be *delays* in your posts appearing, because we are now having
to review posts before they are distributed. We'll do our best at
minimizing those delays, and we'll remove the moderation flag as soon as
we can.
