This is to clarify some of my points in a previous post:
1. Yes, I am mistaken--HISTARCH is not a moderated list.
2. I support Anita's decision on filtering Mr. Johnson's post. As I
jokingly commented on another list (I said the delete key was the
ultimate form of censorship), I find it a relief that I can a least
minimize the use of the delete key when it comes to HISTARCH.
3. I am all for free speech, and have taken that stance very strongly
as an editor of H-ALBION. I find strong similiarities though between
Mr. Johnson's behavior and a person going in a crowded movie theater
and screaming "FIRE."
4. I strongly agree with David Meadow's comment: "LETS GET ON WITH
TALKING ABOUT ARCHAEOLOGY" (paraphrased).
Best, Mark Hall
