Hmm, looks like some personal venom to me.

I for one am glad to see that tweeters has not been censored by a
higher authority. With this current push in our supposedly
enlightened '90's society to hide reality from everyone just in
case one person might be offended or react negatively, it's
refreshing to see that we still have a forum in which we are asked to
take responsibility for *ourselves* by deciding *individually* what
to read and what not to read, instead of allowing someone else to
decide what is acceptable.

Although I must admit I am a bit tired of this thread, I would never
presume to tell anyone else they cannot talk about it. I value my
freedom to use the delete function on my computer as I see fit. The
only request I make is that before anyone runs screaming to Dan
Victor or the group as a whole about censoring any message or
removing an individual from the group, seriously consider whether or
not you want you truly want to curtail your freedom. If you are
offended by messages on tweeters, by all means exercise your right to
delete them or unsubscribe. But please don't take that choice away
from anyone else in the group.
