Its got more than its share of control freaks like More basically.
Its always been the major downside of Fido. It aint called Fight-o-Net
for nuffin. At times its even ended up in the courts in the US.

Thats not the way that some fools like More claim it. They
claim that P4 doesnt even allow you to do it with private
mail you receive yourself, addressed to you. Pity that even if
P4 did say that, and it doesnt, the law has other ideas on that.

Its always been one of the areas where the fools like More claim
they can shaft people, deliberately send a private netmail that
they know you will want to cite, then issue a PC when you do.

ALM> Do you have this twits address?
ALM> I think it's time to send the boys round.

Yeah, a molotov or two should liven things up a bit.
