To moderators (Jason and Mac),
pls stop harassment and defamation on the mailing list! This is a typical case of cyberbullying and you're doing the entire DIYbio community disservice but allowing this to continue. Here is a good guide on How to Lower the Risks of Defamation in Your Online Forum
I have nothing to do with this case but I'm posting from throwaway account, as I'm afraid this mentally unstable person might chase any random stranger on the internetz at will.
To Kopenlab guys, stay strong!

If not please find someone who does to help.Yes, there are currently 2 moderators (Mac Cowell and myself). Up to this point, moderation has been geared nearly 100% toward eliminating spam -- we average about 1 spambot per day. Our only mailing list policy is that everyone's first post is held for moderation until it is reviewed by someone (typically me, typically within 24 hours). This very light moderation has worked OK for 6 years.This dispute is very serious and challenging in many ways for many people. It is not clear cut to me what the appropriate actions are for the mailing list moderators in this case. It does not seem appropriate to me to ban future discussion on the matter or ban people who do choose to discuss it. It is very clear that we need to invest in moderation best practices and governance / guidelines as the list grows, as well as seek more input on this specific case. Any recommendations for advisors or resources is very welcome.Jason Bobe
