Merrell attacks Thomas personally, questioning his motivation and his
character,
while throwing random, off-topic accusations.  I'd also question
whether
his repeated statements about "breaking monopolies" and similar
topics risks running afoul of OASIS anti-trust policy.

  This list is failing its
intended
purpose if a new participant receives personal attacks like this
within
2 hours of his first post.  This is OASIS, not
alt.talk.conspiracy.ufo.
  

  

  Is there something that can
be
done about this?  After repeated warnings, I see no change in Mr.
Merrell's behavior.   
  

  

  I believe the pace of
traffic
has slowed to the level where moderation would not be onerous.
