I am going to say this one more time. The Cyber Rights list *is not*
and cannot be a political vehicle for somebody's half-baked thoughts
on a subject she/he know little about. I will make no other replies
to Ms. Davis, but if I find out a press release goes out in the name
of Cyber Rights that some members object to, have not consented to,
disapprove of, find absurd, or in any other way oppose, I guarantee
you that there will be hell to pay.
Undemocratic and elitist expropriation of this list for personal,
parochial ends will not be tolerated. In short, I will do what I can
to use one of Davis' own methods -- and have her kicked off the
list.
There is such a thing as netiquette, and Ms. Davis badly needs to
learn something about the medium on which she pontificates so
grandiosely.

The objection is that the principles you have listed are out of touch
with economic, technological, and political realities and demonstrate
a rather profound ignorance of what is happening with regard to
Internet trends, industry and market developments, and the nature of
the Internet itself.
I will not pursue this any further. Sign up for com priv, peruse
their archives and learn something so you can speak in an informed
way.

I'm not blocking you; other members of the list are, or do you bother
to read the list?
