No, questionable isn't unclear. Questionable refers to things with a dubious character. Unclear refers to a situation in which is simply not clear what the status exactly is. The charter tells us that dubious, shady things shouldn't be promoted or posted here, not things of which it is not clear what the legal status is. For the record, I didn't speak out about the status of the aforementioned program, I spoke out about the way Mike tried to force the outcome of an ongoing discussion. If the ongoing discussion is about the desirability to discuss and link to illigal programs, the charter is clear. If the ongoing discussion is about the fact _if_ something is illegal or not, and doubts are numerous, the charter isn't clear - and so a moderator should be restrictive in mixing and threatening to delete or end a discussion. That was at least _my_ point. And Mike disagreed with my assessement. And I disagree with his disagreement of my disagreement with him. You see? J.
