From all sides. We have a very "contrite user here at the moment. " Thats a shame. Some people just don't know how to handle flamers. If he got harassing e-mail, he should contact the sender's sysop and the feed site of the system from which the posting came. He should respond to his flamers and let them know that he has a RIGHT to post anything he wants. How do we solve this problem: Post flames in public newsgroups against the offender and also put him in your system-wide kill file. People who own the machines on this network have the right to determine what stuff they allow to be stored on their hard drives. On the other hand, NO ONE has the right to tell anyone what they can and cannot post.
