Nope, you missed number 1. No responses to MX, and no XXX will be needed.

The only way this will work, is if all communication on this subject stops.
Including posts like this.

_I_ won't respond to him, doesn't mean the rest of you lot will follow
the same rules. In such case, identify, if you please.

It won't work, under those conditions. It has to be total, from everyone.

What you are saying is like saying I quit smoking cigarettes, but it is ok
if I still smoke cigars.

The oath is for those who will quit posting, not for those that are going to
continue.

Hopefully, everyone will take it.

In principle, I agree completely. In practice, however, I believe that the
use of the identifier will be most helpfull. As more and more people are
able to filter the troubling part of the conversations, they will diminish
and dissappear.

Try to think of it as a cyber version of Nicarette. (sp?)

Try very hard not to answer; but if you must, use the identifier.

Try very hard not to answer; but if you must, use the identifier.

The identifier I'd like to see put into play is
MXB
It stands for "Mx bashing". If your post pertains to bashing (or not
bashing) Mx, the prepend would allow us to skip it. That's what the
real problem (IMEO) is.

The XXX is already spoken for as a flame identifier.
