Yes, Jim,

I know you're probably referencing the link Mr. Gisondi posted, but it's really about his choice of written speech that is at issue.  Yes, we have rights that include freedom of speech, but it can be done respectfully, and thoughtfully, which is something Mr. Gisondi has failed to do since he has come on the list.  

In this case, it's not about free speech rights, it's about decorum, discretion, a gentleperson's agreement to not abuse their free speech rights in a forum such as this.  Anyone is free to speak what they will, and if it's unanimously deemed vapid, arrogant, ill-intentioned, and in all other ways inappropriate, they will likely receive this (equally free, solicited, and I might say justifiable) type of treatment on the list.  I'll not add any more after this, but just had to get it off my chest.  Had this heartburn for some time now.

  Of course, isn't that what Freedom of Speech is all about . .  the right to say things that are unpopular, inaccurate, etc.

  Didn't a lot of fine men and women over the years, from both our countries,
  give their lives so that we ALL could have this right . . . ??

  i taoally agree, though, that there are OTHER fora ( lat - plural of forum,)  for tjis free expression, but not here . .

  with respect
