        *** Having refrained from any conflict yesterday for the List's sake, 
I can't help but point out that some on this list complained of *%'s divisive 
effect on the community. The above wording is deliberately offensive and 
isolates a group of ATL members under the pejorative term "refugees" in order 
to subordinate them. I can't see how that conforms to any form of openness or 
campfire friendliness? It seems a rather aggressive, preemptive tack aimed 
solely to reduce the value of otherwise reputable AT members. I believe its 
author is more interested in dispensing "treatment" than objectively 
discussing myriad AT involvements.
