There were several things that made me remove AWW from my list of groups
:-D. One was lack of time, which is also the reason that I now rarely
report spam in this group (and reply less now and then). No idea if that's
the reason for the increase of spam you see.
Main reason why I left that group was that I made objections to romancing
(if that's the right word) a disability into special powers, which was
misread [1] (in my opinion) as that I was trying to make the disability
non-existant / denying it, which I was certainly not (again, IMO).
Anyway, it took too much time and energy, and then gave AWW some thought,
and since the majority of the post could be summarized (again IMO) into
- hating on viper
- repeating spam in order to piss off viper (and probably me as well)
- long discussions on spam reporting
- long off topic discussions
I decided to unsubscribe, also because I got tired of maintaining a kill
file (which I prefer not to do).
Anyway, I decided to explain, because maybe more wonder :-D.
[1] which I probably couldn't write down as an argument given the
topic at hand :-D.
