That context matters is lost on them. "Vulgar," on the other hand, covers a lot of territory. The bottom line, however, is that the owner of a private forum is the net equivalent to God: whatever he or she decides is unacceptable is...well, unacceptable. I expect that if a forum owner does not like the way one spells (for example), said owner is entitled to throw one the hell off, without explanation. Free speech does have limits, and those limits begin with private ownership. -- Rhonda Lea Kirk Fries The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously. Hubert H.

Lets beat it to death and then go out and see if we can beat it back to life so we can beat it some more. You can't beat a dead horse unless you're in newsgroups. Then it's not like a sore peter, which you can't beat. And lets add another newsgroup to the post. -- JD.. |
