Let's not confuse strict regulation with arbitrary and capricious plug-pulling. If the rules say something like, "Whoever incites an ethnic flame war*, or a religious flame war**, or posts long diatribes that have nothing to do with cryptoanarchy***, shall be kicked off the mailing list", then they don't seem to apply to everyone who violates them. * E.g. by calling multiple posters "crazy Russians" ** E.g. by attacking the poor hapless mormons :-) *** E.g. by ranting about third-world debt --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
