In the current issue of THE FIRING LINE ( The California Rifle
And Pistol Association, Inc. ) there is a story entitled, "AOL
Calls Guns Pornography".
The following are snippets from that story:
"A Shotgun News columnist found himself put in the smut merchant
category by the internet colossus.
"Jim Supica, a Shotgun News columnist familiar to readers of this
publication, opertates Old Town Station, Ltd., a dealer in
antique collectable firearms. He holds a Federal Firearms
License for this purpose. In short, he runs a clean,
above-board, and legal business.
"That is, he thought he did until America Online (AOL) summarily
removed his web site from their system and sent email to his
account address, which is shared by his wife and children.
"AOL wrote, 'We have become aware of a web page site that is part
of your account. This web page violates Hometown AOL's Community
Standards, which prohibits sexually explicit graphics, links to
other sites which Hometown deems offensive, harrasment, the use
of vulgar or sexually oriented language, discussion of illegal
activities and/or other activities that may impair the enjoyment
of our community members.
"'We have placed a note of this incident on your account history
and consider this a first warning. We have removed all the
file(s) from your web page/ftp site. A second occurrence will
result in termination of your account with no chance of
reactivation.'"
<<<< SNIP >>>>
"'I've heard from other dealers who got the same form letter and
no-warning boot from AOL,' Supica said."
<<<< SNIP >>>>
The article goes on to say that CompuServe (another AOL company),
as well as other IPs, are doing the same.
The author of the article was unable to get clarification from
AOL.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
