Ah, but there's a difference. Had Mr. Nobody, under a real name, suggested
it, that would be slimey, but nothing more. He didn't. He chose to use a
fake name and a fake machine. Even had he said something I agreed with
under that name (which isn't even a good or clever fake) I'd still vote
for throwing him off. We don't want him censored for what he said, but
for what he did, which is conclusive proof that he doesn't want to
play by the rules. People want to censor Cheryl for posting her opinions,
under her name, to a public newsgroup. Not for breaking the rules; not
for attacking people in E-mail; for expressing opinions people don't like.
