Hello Alan,

 LL>> The Mad Hatter seems to have forgotten the First Amendment
 LL>> to the US Constitution.  The amendment that includes the phrase
 LL>> "freedom of speech".  Very strange logic, how censorship becomes
 LL>> a constitutionally protected freedom of speech.  But then, I'm
 LL>> not mad.  Or am I?

 AI> No freedoms have been lost or trampled. No flags have been burned.

"Every nodelisted sysop is the equal of all other nodelisted
sysop(s).  There is no `elite' whose SOP prevails over any other."
- Michiel van der Vlist to Bill McGarrity, 5/12/2016

Black Hole Bob has censored a feed, and made that censored feed
available to other sysops to use as they please.  IOW, Black Hole
Bob is claiming to be an `elite' whose SOP is to censor those whom
he disagrees with by deleting them from existence.

For now, Black Hole Bob is claiming to be doing this only to
David Drummond.  And maybe he is telling the truth in that matter.
But nobody can ever know for sure, except Black Hole Bob himself.

You make the claim "No freedoms have been lost or trampled.
No flags have been burned."  Your claim has been demonstrably
shown, and proven, to be false.

By his own actions, Black Hole Bob has shown no love or comaderie
towards his fellow sysops in fidonet.  Therefore, I cannot in good
conscience say that Black Hole Bob is a member in good standing in
the fidonet community.  Nor should he be.

 AI> Some have made a choice that they have read enough and don't need to read
it
 AI> over and over again.

Black Hole Bob does not want to allow others to be able to make
that choice.  He much prefers to be the nanny, telling others what
they can or cannot read.  If he can recruit others to do the task
for him, to become surrogate nannies, that would be acceptable (in
his mind).  But those surrogate nannies would have to go through
him in order to make sure the individuals of his own choice get
censored.  See how that works?

Now go to your nanny and tell him what I wrote.
