Why anyone would expect any particular degree of "freedom" to use a service run for free by a private individual is beyond me.
I agree, totally. Just because an individual claims, rightly or wrongly, to be a big defender of freedom, involving himself or herself in causes like those of the Electronic Freedom Foundation, does not take away their right to stomp on anyone who disagrees with them on their own private list. To claim otherwise would be as ludicrous as denying the person running the Anonymizer the right to expose the identities of the people he feels might perhaps be abusing his private system, or using it for nefarious purposes, such as hiding their identity from others.

I appreciate the service, but I don't take it for granted and I certainly don't take it as an inalienable right.
