   I beg to differ. Maybe it's just another huge cultural difference? Over
here, personal attacks in the written form (such as in fidonet) is always
judged as libel (or similar -- we have a wide variety of this in our law
books).

   And that's just it. It's so difficult to judge what is this and what is
that, it's nothing that should be left to megalomaniac echomail moderators
to decide. Should the need ever arise, it should be left to the
professionals in the judicial system to make the decision.
