Hi WOR,


I have been on boards since the early 80s, and believe that the moderator
has the right to say how it is run.  It is to the guests to decide whether
they stay and enjoy, or go to another forum, or even start their own.
(There are other great forums, nothing wrong with that.)  But if the
moderator does not have some boundaries, the place is bound to get trashed
now and then.

Feel free to differ in opinion, but I personally do not perceive Cryonet to
be a democracy.  If it were, then demands for freedom of speech would
certainly be warranted.

Cryonet does a better job than most of keeping the topics relevant, believe
it or not.  It has to, considering how one has to read the digest.
Otherwise, it becomes too tedious for me to read daily.  I cannot skip an
irrelevant post in the digest with just a keystroke, as I can with other
forums.  (This, by itself, tends to keep out some of the riff-raff.)

Do not get me wrong, I vehemently detest censorship, and believe fully in
freedom of speech.  But here I am essentially on private property, and
prefer to conduct myself as a proper guest.  If I did not like it, I would
have left.

Forgive me if I have gone somewhat off topic... ;)   Who knows?  This post
could be 'censored', but it is not for me to say.  I probably shouldn't post
after 4AM subjective time anyway.  I hope I was not too incoherent...


Aloha,
