Wouldn't silencing, to be fair, also have to necessarily include, in
addition to Jonathan, Blunderov and myself, most of our recent posters?=20
Such as Walter, for one?  And Doc Sebby, for another?  Jake, and Rhino, =
and
several others, have been transgressing any strictly interpreted boundari=
es,
as well.  I also note that the article in question in my silencing was
posted on a thread (which I neither began nor placed where it is) entitle=
d=20
News Coverage as a Weapon", and was eminently germane to the topic under
discussion.  I further note that I requested, in that particular thread,
that if its topic or content were deemed by the moderator to be
inappropriate to the list, that it be moved, in its entirety, to the BBS =
-
and this was not done, even though everyone in the CoV, including David,
must have received the request.  I beieve that these facts constitute
extenuating circumstances that should, in all fairness, be taken into
account in the assessment of any sentence handed down against me.=0D
In fact, although the topic is PROVISIONALLY banned, the vote on whether
such discussion should be banned on the email list is far from a slam dun=
k,
and is, in fact, at least as close as the Bush-Gore 2000 vote was.  And
considering that the topic touches on so many areas (upcoming elections,
legislation and court decisions (both foreign and domestic)), it will, I
believe, prove quite impossible to for the list to discuss the memetic
proliferation of ideas and opinions concerning ongoing events presently
occurring in the contemporary world while adhering to such a ban - which =
is
why I reversed my original vote in favor of restricting the topic to the =
BBS
=0D
If Blunderov is being allowed one post-ban post (as was Sean/Irvken) with=
out
penalty, I figure I am also owed that mulligan.  And now I will await a j=
ust
fair and wise response.=0D
