I believe Peter Todd is an extremely intelligent individual, who has a
lot to offer the Bitcoin community. =A0He has a firm grasp of a lot of
really deep Bitcoin concepts and his *technical* insight is generally
positive. =A0Technically. =A0But the way he communicates on this list is *extremely* corrosive and breeds hostility. =A0It makes it a scary place to discuss things, with frequent, public ridicule of everything posted.

I agree that I would rather have a friendly environment to discuss
technicals, even if it means losing additional technical insight.
People who would explicitly insult other contributors intelligence and
character on a public list should be subject to some kind of negative
reinforcement. =A0 Maybe there's solutions other than outright banning.=
