	The difference is that no one has been hurt by Marc's somewhat
annoying and offensive (mostly ignorant) postings...  Until he breaks
some major Usenet "rules", I don't anyone should have the right to
kick him off...  Believe it or not, it looks to me like he is trying
to raise (in his mind) valid points, and is not just trying to tick
people off.
	As has been said before, these are computers, and most people
have access to a kill file or other means of avoiding him.  "We have
the technology".  I find followups (like this one) more annoying, and
if anyone thinks that no one else in the future will ever be as annoying
as Marc, then you're wrong.  Learn how to deal with it on a personal
level (kill files, private flames, etc.), and NOT through higher
channel censorship.  Thanx for listening...
