And it really makes me wonder when people want to censor him in the
name of
'patriotism' or 'Americanism' or something. I wonder just how many of
our
freedoms we could lose if we let all of our 'patriots' have their way,
silencing the people they disagree with.

I strongly doubt that anyone besides you has thought he should be
sensored on the grounds of patriotism. That's a silly idea if I ever
read one. Maybe among all the replies to his stuff that I've deleted
there is some such claim, such a person is likely less worth listening
to than Muskie himself.

In Chicago we had bughouse square. The point is not to suppress that
stuff, it's to put it in the appropriate place, and in an appropriate
manner. Agree with him or not, he needs to learn some netiquite:

1) no cross posting.
2) post the link, not the text of someone else's ideas.
3) Buzz off when everybody asks you to.

I have about 10 aliases of him in my kill file. I see his stuff for
one day before I add his new alias to the file and delete the messages.
I also just delete the messages without reading them, because I'd
rather learn from someone I respect.
