There was only one person I know of who has been excluded from this 
list. It was not because of what they said, but the tactics they used, 
including making statements that had been refuted, refusing to answer 
the refutations, but continuing to make the statements, engaging in 
personal attacks against people, taking conversations from other lists 
and bringing them here, even when specifically told not to by the 
message authors, and taking these outside quotes out of context in order 
to make it appear that the person quoted said something that they didn't 
(in the last, the poster took an example of anti-Semitic attitudes that 
I had given on another list, and made it appear that I was endorsing the 
attitude rather than criticizing it).

The person later came back under a new name, and stopped using these 
tactics. There were no further problems.
