No, you don't have the right, but you do have the privilege to make your feelings known.

If I was trying to change the net around to do what I thought was relevant[sic] then I'd be doing a much different job than I was now. I've made my views known in other recent postings, I won't waste disk space mentioning them again. >The techniques you are using are the traditional preludes to censorship, what >do you want the SOVIET CHUQNET? No. Please remember than I'm a net fascist, not a net communist. Please don't get your political philosophies mixed up. For the record, I don't want a Soviet Chuqnet (whatever that is). I just want a network that is pleasant to be a part of. I'm not for censorship, I'm just against people who think that freedom of speech implies a requirement to listen. The privileges of interacting with a public forum such as netnews implies a responsibility not to misuse that forum. Too many people, in my eyes, are doing so, and they are jepardizing the continuing existence of the net by giving those who would like to remove the entire net from their systems. Every person on this network has a responsibility to it. I refuse to support any long those people who will not hold up their end. My interest is only to keep the network working properly for those who do. >Have a happy day. Thank you.
