Soque (Enjoque) Pupette writed;


Someone must draw a line somewhere. Do you not agree?



Who will draw the line? Where will it be drawn?

You and I might not agree on the answer to those questions.

Well yeah, that was to be my next point. But neal went off on an
incoherant rant.
My line might be further out than your line. Gaynzys line would
definitley be short.
Also, the consequences for crossing the line will be different. You
might flame, or 'flonk' a line crosser, I would KF them, Gaynzy will
tell his Mommy (report abuse to ISP).

Whose to say what's right?



We can't have jerks yelling ''FIRE'' in a theatre. Agreed?





Yelling "FIRE!" in a newsgroup doesn't cause a panic and
rush to the exits where people get trampled and die.


Agreed. but constant swearing, vulgar abusive language, in an
established group of ''friendly sailors'' is disrubtive, to say the
least.




You wouldn't want an older man talking dirty to a pre-teen girl.
Right?



A parent that allows a preteen girl to wander in an adult
environment is not fulfilling their duties as a parent.

You think letting one's daughter go to school is neglectful?






No one wants their neighbor yelling out shakespere at 0200. Well?



This is usenet. How is your sleep disturbed by me POSTING IN ALL
CAPS? (yelling)

It's knot.




""Note that I'm not forcing you to read my posts. You chose to do so
of your own free will. You take deliberate and affirmative action
to select my post and read it. If my posts bother you, you can
filter/skip-over/ignore them and they won't cause you any
distress. The point is: it's *your* choice. Your freedom is not
only in what you can say, but also in what you can read. ""


"A netkkkop removes that choice from you. They make the decision
of what you're allowed to read buy removing from your view the
posters they don't like. That infringes on your freedom, as
well as mine and others. "

Right.




So, do we agree that there must be a line somewhere? And if that
line
is crossed, there must be consiquences(?) to pay.



I will agree to this: With freedom comes responsibility.

I exercise my responsibility by staying withing the bounds of
my provider's AUP/TOS and the law; however, I refuse to be
constrained by some nutcase on a power trip.


Good for you, but I assume some ISPs have different TOS (lines to
cross).
