 BF>>> Have you asked your users about this?

 ml>> if they don't like it, they can get lee's messages from another
 ml>> system... it is the operator's system and operators can run their
 ml>> systems as they see fit, right??

 BF> Right.

excellent!

 BF> But do you think there's a log-in page that informs his single(?)
 BF> user about the censorship?

who cares? it is his system... he can tell them or not... as the operator of
his system, that's his choice...

 BF> Plus of course, we all know now what he thinks about the freedom
 BF> of speech that all our(!!) forefathers fought and died for. Fuck
 BF> that, no?

freedom of speech only extends so far... is doesn't extend to shouting fire in
a movie theater... it also doesn't extend to private areas... freedom of speech
is only guaranteed by the government in government controlled areas...
everywhere else is control by other entities which may have their own speech
regulations... but you know this and have known it for what? 60+ years, now?
