Hi Barbara

As I gather from this exchange you had your account terminated at a
previous ISP.

Your present language in your post could very well form the basis for
termination of your account at your current ISP if brought to their
attention via a complaint.  You may wish to review your ISP's account
agreement and/or Terms Of Service (TOS) as such language that you are
employing are generally grounds for termination of accounts under these
agreements.  

ISP's are becoming more concerned regarding potential civil and criminal
liablity for the posts and web pages of their subscribers.  A Toronto
ISP was recently joined to a defamation action against one of its
subscribers for publishing libel.  

There is an interesting analysis of theses issues including the
potential liablity of ISP's at
http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/SSG/it03117e.html in a report entitled "The
Cyberspace is not a 'No Law' Land".  Persons should be aware that
posting to a Newsgroup may attract the same civil and/or criminal
liablities as any other media in regards to defamation, criminal libel,
publishing libel and hate propaganda.
