If you feel distressed by the discussion in any particular thread
or by a particular person, you can choose not to read messages
from the person or bearing a subject line in which you are not
interested.  This way people can discuss topics relevant to the
echo that are of interest to them without censorship, and no one
needs to feel distressed.  If you feel compelled to read messages
you know are likely to be distressing, the consequences are your
responsibility and no one else's.  Furthermore, the idea that
discussion of any particular topic, *which no one has to read*,
somehow prevents or interferes with the discussion of other
topics is absolutely ridiculous.
