Re #238: Please identify some *rational* basis for your belief that an
adverse action could occur. Remember, the issue should be weighing the
potential harm to jep v. the *established* harm to grex's professed values
of free and uncensored speech (with the resultant harm of denying access
to someone else in the future who may need such an item much as jep
himself said he wished such an item already existed). "Awfulizing" is a
form of distorted thinking and not a good basis for rational
decision-making. Speculation that has *some* basis in reality is OK, so
please share some details. So far though, you have simply made a hollow
statement empty of any real meaning. Here's another hint: Jep himself
stated his request to keep the items deleted was *not* based on legal
concerns.
