Wonderful, and your blog is a great place for that. I
support you being<br>
outspoken about the issues in your private space. But the
PLUG list is a<br>
communal space, and with that comes certain communal norms.
For instance: no<br>
shoes, no shirt, no service. That establishes norms for
certain areas that<br>
contain that banner. Certainly it restricts your freedom,
but it is also<br>
about someone establishing norms in a space to encourage a
more diverse set of<br>
participants.<br>

What is ironic is we have destroyed the community of the PLUG.
I have been on<br>
this list for over 10 years. Through that time I have come to
know many people<br>
whom I consider friends. While the list may have a specific
focus, since the<br>
beginning, us friends used this list to communicate all kinds
of things that<br>
we cared about and we shared it with eachother through the
list as a means for<br>
creating a group discussion rather than just between a few of
us.<br>
<br>
Society has changed. In our vast attempt to be open minded of
everyone else<br>
and tolerant, almost entirely pushed by the LGBT groups, no
one is tolerant of<br>
anything and no one is allowed to say anything for fear of
offending someone<br>
else. You know, we have a freedom of speech in this country
and not every word<br>
spoken is hateful though it may personally offend *you*.<br>
<br>
Grow up. Put your big boy pants on and stop whining! This
isn't the third<br>
grade anymore. I have opinions and a right to share them. You
have opinions<br>
and whether I agree with them or not I want to hear them!<br>
<br>
God forbid someone challenge someone. I have a strong
foundation and I know<br>
what I believe, but you telling your opinion about something
that I do not<br>
agree with does not shake my foundation so much that I get
upset and I can no<br>
longer think for my self. I value other peoples opinions,
otherwise I would<br>
not share my own.<br>
<br>
When Obama was elected the first round he stated he wanted his
cabinet to be<br>
filled with people who did not agree with him. I thought it
was a brilliant<br>
idea! What better than a large group of advisors who will
share differing<br>
opinions. Of course, later we found out the advisors were
nothing more than<br>
large contributors to his campaigns and he was repaying them
for their deeds.<br>
What a loser.<br>
<br>
If we cannot share our opinions then I formally request this
list become<br>
moderated so that no one might accidentally offend the weak
minded on this<br>
list.<br>
