Re: anti-mou people

Notice how much valuable time and energy is being wasted
talking about a few mouths trying to feed fragile egos
by drawing attention to themselves with obnoxious acts.

Why not deal with the REAL issue, instead. Shall the
Internet by governed by an open or a closed process?

Those on this list calling for any degree of censorship of any
contributor, IMHO, invite greater or lesser degrees of tyranny
in actual Interenet governance. If we cannot practice fair-play
(egaliatorian democracy) here in this forum, how can we reasonably
hope for any kind of fair play from them in Internet governance?

The solution is the civility born from realizing that we're all
interactive here on network earth. A simple yet powerful idea.
