The piece de resistance is that, even though the thread is about something I posted, and it's become open season on me over there, I've been banned from even reading the thread. Sigh.
Scratch---It sounds to me like Pahoran was more worked up about the list than DCP was.
I didn't think it was such a horrible list, but apparently some people did. I received a rather nice email from Dan Peterson last night, and you are right that he wasn't worked up at all about it.

Wait....when did this happen? Just now?
I don't know. As of early this morning, I'm banned from the thread. No big loss, but certainly odd. As Scratch said, I did what I could to defuse the situation rather than inflame it.

Yes, you're right. DCP implied later on in the thread that he'd only brought the list over so that the TBM posters on MAD could mock and deride "substrate" (a.k.a. Runtu) and the other RfM participants.
