If we take your view as being correct, then I fear that the neigh-sayers in r.g.c.c. would *really* be right about censorship. Protection from *HARRASSMENT*?! What planet are you from? Maybe it is just the country. I live in the USA, where people can say just about anything that is not libelous or slanderous. That includes stating extreme opinions (as I am wont to do at times). #2 thought that once he posted in a thread, he owned it an nobody could join that thread that he did not approve of. Your history is *very* revisionist. #3 disagreed with statements that were made outside of this forum. How absurd. Now, I do not know the facts of the case, and believe that both Moritz and Bruce are sincere in their descriptions of what took place. But, in any case, I don't think you can muzzle people outside of this forum. At least in the United States we have the benefit of a paper document called a "Constitution."
