I would echo the need for some kind of moderation.
I believe Peter Todd is an extremely intelligent individual, who has a
lot to offer the Bitcoin community. He has a firm grasp of a lot of
really deep Bitcoin concepts and his *technical* insight is generally
positive. Technically. But the way he communicates on this list is
*extremely* corrosive and breeds hostility. It makes it a scary place
to discuss things, with frequent, public ridicule of everything posted.
I agree that I would rather have a friendly environment to discuss
technicals, even if it means losing additional technical insight.
People who would explicitly insult other contributors intelligence and
character on a public list should be subject to some kind of negative
reinforcement. Maybe there's solutions other than outright banning.
