Cross, you wrote this in item:68:resp:96


 I do fear that grex is stepping dangerously close to censorship in
 its grossest form: deleting text of others because you don't like what
 they say.  If that happens, I *really* _will_ quit staff and grex in
 all its forms.  Freedom of speech is just too important to me; it's
 the cornerstone of the country grex is hosted in, and it's under attack
 constantly (including in the United States Senate and Congress), and the
 first thing I learned in high school journalism class is that as soon as
 you start down that slippery slope, no matter how good your intentions
 are, you can't pull yourself back up.  It's also the thing that makes me
 *want* to support grex.  If it goes by a formal vote of the membership,
 then I'll consider grex's mission compromised, its commitment inauthentic,
 and I'll go, too.


cross, why are you still on staff ?

Regarding #0; Somebody's gotta fight the good fight, man.

Regarding #1; Enlist and find out.  Make sure you tell them that I sent
you so I can get the credit for promotion.

I didn't know the Marines was a multilevel marketing scheme now.

Wouldn't you rather gain rank by doing something honourable and useful and
going ahead and resigning from staff like you promised everyone you would?

Face it, cross, they voted for censorship, plain and simple. Where's the
fight ?
