You're right. All the new posters should be welcome to post. It's just part of 
the scare tactics of a "censor" like Celeste to control the group. If she 
cannot control it one way, she's going to try to do so another way.

She'll try driving off some of the opposition, silencing others, and scaring 
any potential new ones until she has everything under control. That's such a 
typical reaction from a censor and it goes on in the other newsgroups, too -- 
where there is a control freak in residence.

Now, everyone should realize that there's nothing she can do and you can post 
all you want. In fact, very vigorous posting and continuous pointing up where 
she was the agressor here -- trying to censor everyone to her own viewpoint -- 
is what is called for.

So, people, don't shy away from some agressive posting and don't be shy about 
disagreeing on issues and other things you believe in. Go for it. It's not to 
be avoided, you know. Disagreement is healthy and is how people get things 
sorted out. To sweep it under the rug is not healthy and doesn't help anyone.

I'm providing the full posting record of this newsgroup on the web site in some 
downloadable files that I'm setting up. I'll have them split into about 15 day 
segments (first half and last half of the month). I tried sending the files to 
some people but it seems it causes some mailers to choke. This way, the web 
site will be a lot easier for people.

You need to see who was the censor and who got real wacko here. It was -- and 
still is -- Celeste. She has really gone bonkers and wacko. Before, I thought 
she just had the same disease that all the other mainline censors had on 
UseNet. But, I soon saw that she was unbalanced and went way overboard. That 
embarassed the "Censor-CABAL" and they did what they had to, in order to shut 
her down. She can still post, but she cannot do cancels anymore through her 
normal provider. They put a stop to that.

You can see really well, by reading the posting record that Celeste just plain 
went wacko, and is still acting wacko by what I can see.

----------

So, don't be shy and start posting up a storm and get agressive on your posting 
and what you believe in. It's free speech on this UseNet. Use it. Don't let 
someone else beat you into submission.

Does your news server allow forged cancels? That promotes censorship
on content. A UseNet Death Penalty was issued because of my warning
about a crooked ISP -- ** Texas.Net ** -- cheating the customers.
Complain in a post to austin.internet about the UDP and censorship!!
