Rather than yell at each other about suppositions which are
difficult to prove, there is something constructive we could try to
do. I mentioned earlier that there is a new netnews group called
misc.acivitism.militia. Today, there was a post saying:
------------- copy of post -------------
The moderator of misc.activism.militia is unable to continue in his
position because of pressure from law enforcement.
We will search for a new moderator, although with the Oklahoma
bombing being associated with militias, it may be impossible
to find a replacement.
------------ end of post ------------------------------------
So, apparently, the moderator, a guy named Mike Chapman, is
having his first amendment rights (moderating a discussion group)
taken away because of the government's fear of the Second Amendment.
Maybe we could offer to have the MIT Libertarians moderate the
netnews group. Apparently, it is moderated by a program; the moderator
does not need to actually read the posts.
There may some technical difficulties which would make it
impossible, but aside from that, what do people think about the idea?
