[R-390] Anti freeze

[Bill Kulze]

I think this is the point I was trying to make. I inherited a yahoo group for discussion of issues in our little town here. A couple years ago, leading up to the elections in 2012, it turned into an ugly free-for-all on all topics political, some legitimate, some as far off the wall as you can get. When I warned some folks regarding some nasty posts, without deleting them, I was accused of violating their freedom of speech.

Along with what Charles wrote below, someone else mentioned that the one thing we all have in common here are R-390's and other such boatanchor topics. Beyond that we are all over the map. And it is a moderated forum. The moderators have the responsibility for maintaining a reasonable amount of order, but it is their call as to where the line is drawn. 

I've probably been on the list for a few years now, not sure how many. What a wealth of info. Occasional side tracks? Sure, but for the most part pretty harmless. When I think it goes too far doesn't really matter, It's no my job, mang! But I should at least try follow the general idea of the group.

I think someone mentioned the foolish notion many folks seem to have that an internet group or email list is a free-speech forum. Wrong. Think of it instead as being invited to someone's home to exchange ideas, party, enjoy yourself, etc. The person who determines what's right and wrong in their living room is your host - not you or anyone else (except maybe his wife, of course).
