*Redekultur -- the culture of discussion*

No, there's the delete-button and I am the one who decides what to read.
It's not disgraceful, it's still the freedom of speech and I defend Doug's
freedom on this list. If someone calls me names I can defend myself, or
others will do. If a poster calls others fascists I may discuss this or
simply ignored it, and stay on the topic of the "literary" discussion if I
prefer.

Calling for the list-owner to expel someone is no solution. If there were no
different opinions it would be boring.

read you

Otto
