Political banter in a sailing newsgroup is probably ok with some as a
minor sideshow. The garbage below is blatant, unmitigated trolling and
racism. It's time to put an end to this crap,

Nonsense. We're adults here. If Jon chooses to play the race card on
behalf
of his candidate, it reflects poorly on him, but doesn't justify trying to
get his news provider to silence him.

I agree it's ridiculous to report the poor guy. Hopefully, Giganews will
look the other way when it comes to the terms of agreement of his service.
The next thing Giganews might wind up dropping alt.sailing.asa altogether,
just like Aieo did when someone complained to them. Come on guys, just keep
it in the family.
