   That's a remarkably dumb thing to say on a post that's crossposted to groups   
   where he is welcome. Ever heard of the Streisand effect?   
      
   It's even dumber given the activity level on this list. Today there have been   
   posts on two issues: this, and one idiot going on about how he won't do porn.   
   Prior to that all activity has been non-Scots-related commentary by the   
   no-porn guy and a bunch of    
   stuff in Spanish that is apparently vaguely related to religion. The last   
   message that was on-topic prior to this thread was posted on the 12th, and was   
   a call for all the humans still on the list to go to Facebook.   
      
   Now if you wanted to use this as a springboard to talk about the Nobility's   
   role in modern Scotland, or criticize them, or even demand a Scots-only-list,   
   that would make sense. Demanding the only guy on this list whose actually   
   talking about shit that is    
   even vaguely related to Scottish culture shut the fuck up, by cross-posting to   
   numerous groups where people who like are gonna read it, OTOH, is dumber then   
   paste.
