MC off the air next?
I think it's a pretty cowardly thing to complain to a provider to shut
someone up. I would never do it. As for selecting posts out of context! Now, I though I was generally quite reasonable here and just met like with like. How could someone be so nasty? I've heard others complain about this but is that what this NG is really all about -suspension of free speech and dissent for non-americans? |

Your free speech rights exist because you live under the vast nuclear
umbrella of the United States. You don't have to worry about angry Somoans over running your sheep farms or having an air force with fighter planes. By all means speak freely. Feel free to criticize Bush because he ain't no American! RB "Navvie" wrote in message ... I think it's a pretty cowardly thing to complain to a provider to shut someone up. I would never do it.

I agree completely. I've said many times that I will defend someone's
right to speak no matter how obnoxious they are. Unfortunately, there are a couple of people who cross the line from typing into doing something illegal and potentially damaging. Those people typically self-destruct on their own, but occasionally other people find it necessary to slap them down. The typical scenario is that they post over and over again how great they are, how much they own, or lie so badly that someone finally calls them on it. Then, they resort to name calling. When that doesn't work, one or two go beyond the NG into the realm of malicious intent. IMHO, that's the line in the sand, and that behavior certainly isn't protected. I'm willing to bet that you're going to see a lot of vitriol because of this post. If so, this was a great troll, and I'm happy to have contributed to it. "Navvie" wrote in message ...
