Yeah. It's classic that someone who is an "independent thinker" will
start to accuse a mailing list of "group think". I guess if that
your accusation that this mailing list and the hackerspace you were
banished with are both examples of "group think" then I might as
well go and dig up your past since I am curious what got you booted
in the first place.<br>

<br>
So from this we learn the following:<br>
<br>
- You were banned from IRC after being harassing and then evaded
your bans<br>
- You harassed the hackerspace via e-mail<br>
- You have no ability to compromise with the hackerspace<br>
- You have no desire to change your behaviour<br>
- People have tried to mediate but you've demonstrated no desire to
change<br>
<br>
Then we go on later into this thread to find the following:<br>

So you're obviously toxic to this hackerspace. Why are you causing
people to leave? I see references to you stalking them around the
space.<br>
<br>
Then we see other examples from the mailing list of your warnings:<br>
<br>

And according to this, it's valid for a year. Have you given any
thought to maybe taking a fucking break and seeking help?<br>
<br>
Also, complaining about being mean about RMS is funny when he's
known to be a creeper himself, has the most obnoxious conference
attendance requirements, and is known to eat things stuck to his
foot:<br>

Quit posting on this mailing list, Peter. Nobody cares about your
plight and from all appearances your ban was more than rightfully
deserved.<br>

I think it's a cultural problem.

I think it is possible and necessary to change people's minds. It

Humans are tricky, and prone to violence and group-think.
