Changed your ID to avoid killfiles? Seems "oppressive" to me.

PLONK to you and your new 'nym.

One of the concerns that the founding fathers had about setting up a
democracy was that mobs have a tendency to act emotionally instead of
rationally.

I am glad that Usenet is founded upon an architecture of freedom, where
minority opinions cannot be silenced.


There is a story about three people living under a democracy, two are
blind, the other perfectly healthy. The blind members want to take one
eye each from the one who can see.

The vote passes: 2-1.


Usenet becomes abUsenet when the focus is turned toward poking out
someone's eyes.

Please use killfiles, or whatever means you deem necessary to exercise
self control. But there is no need to *advertise* the use of a
killfile.
