Perhaps not less tolerant, but certainly more dangerous: by having government as its enforcer. This is why folks are disturbed by the lawsuits against NAMBLA and the like. Not that most of us have any use for them or their philosophy, but that the folks suing them are in effect using the power of government to "beat them up". - GH _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

CDR: New World Coffee Disparagement Sites to be Shutdown?
by Duncan Frissell 14 Sep '00

14 Sep '00

New World Coffee a NJ-based coffee and bagel (it bought Manhattan Bagels a while back) franchise company is seeking a TRO in New Jersey state court on Friday to try and shut down two disparagement sites. www.NewWorldCoffeeFraud.com www.NewWorldFraud.com The company is claiming breach of franchise agreement by franchisees who are supposedly saying unkind things about it. It is also claiming that the domain names newworldcoffefraud.com and newworldfraud.com are likely to confuse innocent surfers looking for coffee. The sites claim that NWC is guilty of fraud in selling franchises and lack of support for franchisees once they buy in. The defendants have no lawyers and are proceeding in pro se. The sites may be gone Friday night if the judge rules against them. Get them while they're hot. DCF ---- "They believe that the Government is the problem and that what everyone needs is to be told, 'You're on your own; go out there into the tender mercies of the global economy; have a great time in cyberspace, and we'll get out of your way.'" -- William Jefferson Blythe Clinton in a speech to the AFSCME in Chicago June 21, 1996.
