Re: [tlug] McLennan banned

[Matt Doughty <mdoughty@example.com>]

His clueless rant about Mandrake was the last straw. Apparently he
was asked to cease and desist, but he refused to comply. He got
kill filed by 4 people because of that thread alone. I personally
don't care one way or another because he is in my killfile, but if
you can't see he incites people then we have nothing to talk about.

ps. an apology most certainly isn't warranted, and shouldn't be expected.
