Re: [ga] Lesbians at ICANN

Kieren and all,

  I for one was not and would not have my sensibilities "irrevocability
damaged" as you put it,
by such content unless of course it was not accurate.  I would have my
sensibilities
"irrevocability damaged" if complete archives of any ICANN comments,
blogs or
web pages were not fully and completely archived without exception or
edit.  To do
such a thing is not excusable and would be against US law and would
warrent
reporting to LEA officials accordingly.  Ergo Kieren, some of your
remarks
below concern me accordingly...
