There are already at least two of these lists: the PAB list for those who
have signed the MOU and so have (according to Dave) pledged their support
to it, and this list for everyone.  Let those who only want to hear the
opinions of people who agree with them join the PAB and listen to one 
another.

Banning those who disagree from the open list (this one) will just drive
another nail into the coffin of the gTLD MOU.

This list has not died because of Jeff Williams or Bob Allisat -- or me.
It has died because people just decided that there wasn't much more to be
said about the MOU or because they decided that what they said made no
difference whatsoever.

And on the other hand, the MOUvement itself has its own "interesting 
characters".  Are you going to ban Sascha, Kent, and Dave?
