One should know something about a speaker to better interpret odd use
of language or cultural background, but once ideas are expressed and
understood, they /must not/ be judged by their source, only by their
objective value. Our esteemed Mr. Carwash has some interesting ideas,
and my mind is not so fragile that I allow his brashness to interfere
with my making use of them.
My mail program sorts mail from the 25 or so mailing lists I'm on
into separate folders, so when I read mail I read all ExI mail at one
time. I have not found a kill file necessary or useful for this list,
or indeed for any of the lists to which I subscribe. The only things
I filter out at all are known unsolicited commercial spam sites, and
those I block at the IP address level, not because of any particular
person's idea, but because the ISP as a whole does not enforce terms
of service that prevent real economic loss for me, so I choose not to
accept any packets from those ISPs.
