I voted against expelling you from the Board and against limiting your IP
access, so I am not the one who should be explaining these majority
decisions.

My reponsibility as and the reason I ran to become TFN Board member is to 
save Toronto Freenet, not to become net.cop. I ran to provide free basic
internet access for all, not to censor internet content.

My stance on the not.torfree computer is "if it does not cost the TFN
any money, why not let" the volunteers use it however they wish. I
understand TFN owns the not.torfree computer, so there is no monthly
rental cost. Until we have alternate productive use for it, I do not
object to volunteers using this idle asset even for commercial purposes.

I will even tolerate pornography on not.torfree so long as it does not
violates Canadian laws or Ryerson policy. Ryerson not only provides us
the bandwidth for the machine but our office space as well.

Volunteer Sasha's web site provides connection to Board member Dmytri's
critique on child porn censorship, which warns people initially that
what follows may be offensive. Unless the police or Ryerson warns us
otherwise, I will not interfere.
