<P>Dr. dierker and all,</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp; Not a very good argument, as no one can be intimidated by anthers</P>
<P>speach or written word unless they are deranged, misguided, have some</P>
<P>sort of fear/emotional complex or disorder, ect.&nbsp; </P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp; No one can or ever has intimidated me.&nbsp; Nor are they ever likely</P>
<P>to do so.&nbsp; I am sure many have thought they were trying to or </P>
<P>could do so.&nbsp; Not going to happen.</P>
<P>&nbsp; And btw, mocking is one of the greatest forms of flattery, it is not</P>
<P>a means of intimidation unless again a person whom reacts to</P>
<P>mocking in a manner in which he or she cannot understand, or has </P>
<P>some sort of mental or emotional disorder.</P>
<P>&nbsp; So again such a rule is offensive to me and anyone whom is well</P>
<P>adjusted, is a freedom loving person, regardless of his or her </P>
<P>country of origin.&nbsp; It should be struck!<BR><BR><BR></P>

<DIV>So why do we take such care to prevent authorized, legislated, official or established censorship? The answer is clear - we as a global society hold certain truths inalienable.</DIV>
<DIV>We abhor censorship and hold free speech as a human right.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>So why are we so ready to allow the most insidious denial of free speech free rein over our human right? Harassment, intimidation, written attacks, insults to your intelligence and even national bigotry are here and they are just as much a censorship of free speech as is any "officialdom" curtailment. You have Columbine and terrorists that make it clear that this type of denial is as dangerous as sanctioned book burning.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Once again; So why do we not have such a prohibition in our draft rules? My suggestion is, because of those very same techniques as discussed about. Members are intimidated by the few who would mock, degrade and insult.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>If any would have suggestions, they may make them on list and make the private to Debbie and I so as to avoid entanglement.</DIV>
