I've been following this argument for a while, and feel that it is a valid
question. Where does the responsibility of the system administrator begin and
end?

The only way that seems reasonable to me is that the PERSON who posts must
take responsibility for their own words. What right does an S.A. have to censor
peoples postings?. As an S.A. I would not even consider editing users postings -
it would be a gross invasion their rights of free speech.
