James,

I guess we'll see whether your right to post is quickly taken away or not.

I thought I was making the same point as you on the need for clear limits on the freedom of speech on these boards.

If you set up a discussion group at your commercial ISP, then you are completely free to advocate or limit discussion of almost anything (there's sure enough extremism already available on the 'net).

However, if you are an employee of the University of Chicago and operating a public service board for the public good, then you are obligated not to discriminate arbitrarily with regards to access. This board is not privately operated.

I'm with you, St. James -- I'm just asking for clear guidelines on what is and is not appropriate to post, so that posters and respondents can be better aware of their responsibilities here as well as having their rights protected. These are more ethical issues of good management to me than they are legal issues.

Best wishes,

Mark H.
