<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Eugen, just so you and I are absolutely clear. If
you kill this thread, or call</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>for it to be killed again. If </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>your are that censorious, I will remember it and</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hold it against you whilst you and I live. I
would oppose your reanimation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I will regard </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>you as

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am willing to be censored off the list, it is a
private list after all, but</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>actions (like censorship) are facts that shape
reactions. Being a person</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>in a world of persons, I take things
personally. Fair warning.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If I am censored off the list I would take that as
diagnostic of the</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>degeneration </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>of the
list. It is one thing to take issue with a persons</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>arguments and say so. It is another to stop other
people from hearing</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>those arguments and expressing their reactions
which may include</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>opposition to them. I regard censorship as a form
of killing - as do </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>you by the use of your word killthread.
