ShadowRN never has and never will be a democracy. If you want to get
extremely technical, I suppose you do have the freedom to say whatever you
like on the list. But, there are also several people who have the freedom
and power to remove you from the list.
Joking aside. Why would you want these flames to continue? If the reason
you are on this list is to read flames, I can suggest several other lists
that have a much higher flame to post ratio.
Always strange how people creep out of the woodwork to complain, and I
haven't seen them post in ages.

A technicallity which would be shot down in any US court, Gurth. But on
this list, there isn't, nor does their have to be, freedom of speech. This
isn't a public forum, it's private. And the owners can do what they want
about anyone who doesn't say what those owners want them to say. It's like
a newspaper. They don't have to publish all the letters to the editor they
get. They'll allow opposing views, of course, but they won't allow all the
crazies and flamers equal time, because it's crap.

Can't someone make a joke? I even included the smiley! :) (Anyway, it's a
weird name, but I'm probably saying that because here it's called freedom
of expression of opinion.)
