So while I do think he can have an opinion, and while it is not one I share, I did in fact delete him and all messages pertaining to his spam from the Agriculture Team. I encourage other team-captains to do the same.

I have sent my own personal official complaint as a lender to Kiva regarding this spamming. If he would join for the purpose of being on a team then I would say he had a right to speak but what he is doing is against the TOU. (I didn't know he was a part time nurse - wonder if he could fill in for me on my day off?) I would encourage everyone to send Kiva an official complaint. Jane

I see Ian has posted - good on you - answering him is fuel to his fire - but it's also good to discredit him in the eyes of those he has contacted.
I actually just PMed him rather than posting in our team messages.
If I had answered him in the team messages he would have to respond to me there too (as it isn't possible for him to get my address to PM me) and I didn't want the team message board to be swamped with messages pro/anti USA loans - that issue has nothing at all to do with our team's raison d'etre.

Sverre joined the Late Loaning Lenders team, but dropped out without posting his message. I guess he decided it wouldn't go down too well in that team!

Ooops, sorry if you're on one of the teams where I replied to Sverre - I just don't like people who try to BULLY others into doing what the bullies want to do and had no intention of starting a 'flame war' but wanted to present an opposing opinion. Also, I've been working with the "online world" for many years and know that more than 90% of Internet users do not scroll down - so by posting a long-ish message to Sverre, it pushed his posting below 'screen level' and perhaps made it less effective.

Hello linaka,
A belated
to Kiva friends!
I personally felt your reply was just fine, and I hope he actually took the opportunity to read your message before he either got dropped from or quit those teams.
Glad to have you here!

"Our daughters can contribute just as much to society as our sons, and our common prosperity will be advanced by allowing all humanity - men and women - to reach their full potential. I do not believe that women must make the same choices as men in order to be equal, and I respect those women who choose to live their lives in traditional roles. But it should be their choice. That is why the United States will partner with any Muslim-majority country to support expanded literacy for girls, and to help young women pursue employment through micro-financing that helps people live their dreams." - President Barack Obama, June 4, 2009
