Brock,

OK. Then let's think of the List as more of a conference call where all
parties of equal status are talking. If you don't like what one person is
saying, tell them so. If they keep saying it, you have the option to say
goodbye - and hang up. But cutting them off because they are annoying you
should never be an option.

For anyone to be "moderated" (censored) because a "moderator" (censor) finds
them annoying; or because a few Members of the List finds some if the
subject matter uncomfortable - is still bullshit.
