How about realizing that it's OK if a screw-ball says screwy things every
once and a while. Does anybody here believe that Max is a sexual deviant
just become some troll says so? Of course not. Either you want a free
society or you don't. Don't spew libertarian rhetoric and then turn around
and act like a censor. "Some animals are more equal than others"? If you
don't like what people post either (a) rebut it; (b) ignore it; or (c)
killfile them.

So, in short, let me know when you start limiting access to the list so I
can promptly unsubscribe.
