I suppose your taxes give you the right to post your favorite cat
recipies to the cat-lover's group, pro-choice propoganda to
rec.knives, and mass-post advertisements and MAKE.MONEY.FAST posts to
every newsgroup on earth.

Newsgroups have charters.  They're specifically designed for certain
subjects of conversation.  If you feel the need to deviate from those
subjects, it's just plain rude.

Last I heard, taxes didn't give you the right to be rude (although a
scientific study might find statistics to suggest that they did).
