  In my opinion Harnad is psychologically unsuited to the job of
moderating anything, and should *NOT* be the moderator of this
group if formed. He is the sort of person who assumes anyone
using a four-letter word is mentally ill, and his remedy for this
is to get that person and anyone else in the line of fire thrown
off the net if possible, by means of whatever kind of libel seems
suitable.
