Why do you think this is?

Like it or not, the net is about communication. When someone's
communication is blocked, that person tends to get a little testy.

You can't provide a service ("millions of people communicating
many-to-many"), selectively restrict that service based on some
arbitrary standard, and still call yourself providing a service.

This is why I keep saying you people don't understand free speech.

Do you realize just how controlling the "those who have money make the
rules" paradigm is?

A person was frighteningly ugly. Once he was asked how could he go on
living with such a terrible face. "Why should I be unhappy?", answered
the man. "I never see my own face; let others worry."
