Tom rages against the anti drunk driving post:

and includes the Usenet anti Nazi vote in his sights.
and  concludes:

Vaska's posting initiated an interesting continuation of the censorship and
free speech discussion and so far you are the only person talking about the
latest!!
        I hadn't noticed you raging about the current  music thread which
started with the seventies and continues currently on international rock.
Interested in that, are you? 
        Both the posts you object to have amounted to "Act on this is you
care..." requests.  These political/concerned citizen posts show up less
often than lists of jokes type posts.  But then TP's a humourist among other
things so jokes are legit...?
       In effect what you seem to be saying  is keep politics off the
p-list, ( except as a matter for literary dissection perhaps). If I were you
I'd go back to lurking and be thankful for the average quality of the
conversation in these parts.
