Bob, we are not limiting free speech or freedom of the press. That is an
absurd statement, and a weak argument for the scope of this discussion.
Personal freedom STOPS when it STARTS interfering with ANOTHER'S personal
freedom...and we sure don't need a lecture on patriotism.

With all due respect, this attitude is a big part of the problem with this
list, and while hitting DELETE is always an option, most choose not to
because we are here to LEARN. And hence, the REAL issue, KEEPING FOLKS
FROM LEARNING AND STIFLING DISCUSSION.

So again, this is not about limiting free speech, it is about UNDERSTANDING
the DAMAGE unrestrained free speech does.

  Whats the problem people? Tender eyes? Delicate ego? If there are no
disagreements, where will be the diversity of information? If no folks with
obnoxious writing, where will be the spice? Seems we are asking to limit
free speech? Freedom of the press? Many lives were given over the years to
obtain those freedoms! Lets hang on to freedom here, where like nowhere
else, we really are free to write what we choose to write. If a message or
writer wanders off topic, gets boring you have a freedom called DELETE.

tomorrow I will be home and I am going to moderate. I don't want to have to
do this, but apparently it is necessary.
