This is the question every mailing list administrator has been asking
since the dawn of the internet. Its not going to happen. People will
always disagree on certain points and people will always send flames its
really quite simple.
Why don't we all just take an oath not to send any flames regarding
messages but yet send a reply with constructive critism.

I guess if you don't have any important stuff to do this would be a good
idea. Do you really want to watch the list 24/7 to see if flames are
coming through?

Exactly how are people going to express opinions on certain topics if
you deem these messages to be offensive or flames?
I think we just need to grow up here and move on to another topic.
