Easier than dealing with the issue, eh?

I ain't robocop.

Right you are. I should have posted the persons name who has been
denied service by actions of the net.censors. Barbara Amero.
BTW, I never accused you of this, those that participated know who
they are. So, did you email Chebucto?

I'm not on Escape.

Correct, Amero didn't lose her account because of the Chebucto AUP,
she lost it because a bunch of net.bullies harrased them into booting
her. Something that could have been avoided by applying a little
common sense and keyboard/newsreader technology.
Whatever you say, it's censorship, and I don't believe you agree with
this. She was booted because a bunch of idiots didn't like her views
and instead of acting towards her as most users do to any net.whacko,
they crossed the line. They resorted to the same ad hominem attacks as
she employed, nothing wrong with that, but when that brought no
satisfaction they started their little campaign to have her service
denied. Pathetic really. You actually condone this? I'm surprised.
