Why is an apology necessary for kicking someone off the list who publicly
villifies his/her neighbors? A chilling effect on free speech occurs when
people don't post because they fear being publicly trashed. Even the first
amendment is tempered by libel and slander laws. People form opinions about
others' characters based on what is published on this list. We owe it to
ourselves and others to back up assertions with facts and avoid namecalling.
