So even if a majority of people found something offensive, the answer is: mind
your own business, do your own thing if you don't like what I am doing. This is
the libertarian view and provides maximum freedoms for individuals in >a
pluralistic, secular democracy.

Hi George:
I fully agree with this.
Isnt it quite hypocritical however, that this is posted on Goanet, which
itself is moderated?
When will Gonet start following Mill's harm principle? That would indeed
be the day!!!
