While anti-TNE rants are not welcome (I had enough of that on the TML
years ago), rational discourse is fine. No dead horses should be beaten
though. No one is required to be a cheerleader, let alone like all
aspects of TNE--there are people that only like the mechanics--but
contributions to the discussion should be positive. As you well know,
Traveller fans are passionate about the game, so vehement responses are
to be expected if you deride their favorite setting.
In the 14 years of running this list, I've only had to ban a couple
people from it (a few people were moderated). And they were pro-TNE; it
was their "uncivil behavior" that got them banned.

>> So are you just a sanctimonious hypocrite or what?
Actually, yes, I am. And I'd better explain that (although is it
necessary?)...
The first time I posted to this group, I received some private responses
that were... less gentle than yours. So in the time since, I always feel
like posting here is posting where Marc (Miller) and I are not really
wanted. So to try and limit the trouble I cause, I try not to post very
often. But Marc says otherwise, so I read all the posts, and respond where
I feel I might contribute without causing more trouble.
Does that answer your question?
