I need to point out to you people that there is no such thing as a right to free speech on a message board, or in any privately-owned setting. Business can fire employess for cursing or inappropriate language, and message board owners can allow or disallow whatever forms of expression they wish. The First Ammendment only refers to govenrmental censorship.

That said, although I am not personally fond of HARDDON's choice of names, this is not the issue I have with him. It is his often abusive attitude towards others and the routine spewing of gratuitous invectives that I will not tolerate. He can call his plants whatever he wants, but when he starts verbally abusing other members that is over the line. I'm glad he's decided to rejoin us, since his growing expertise is invaluable, but if he persists in the behavior for which I suspended him previously, no amount of expertise will keep him here.

HARDDON, I sincerely hope I have your understanding and cooperation in this matter. Ok?
