That would be me, and it wasn't about Google Groups.

After Mark was repeatedly abusive towards somebody, including telling 
this person to kill themselves, and after he chose to ignore both polite 
requests to cease flaming, and a fair warning that he would be kill-filed 
if he persisted, he persisted and so I kill-filed him. Which is a pity, 
because Mark does know Python well and he can be very helpful (although 
sometimes abrasive). I think on balance, when he's not flaming, he makes 
a positive contribution to this community.

The kill-filing is only temporary, and I look forward to seeing his posts 
again soon. Hopefully by that time, he'll stop feeling put-out and hurt 
that I've chosen to not read his flames, and cease misrepresenting my 
actions.
