[Bill London]

I am responding to your message, because your questions were posed in a civil tone.  
the divergent views/perspectives of your previous postings has never been the issue -- the point was the outrageous, mean-spirited, and often disgusting personal attacks you used.
I am willing to give you one last chance.  If you return to your previous style, I will just delete everything you post.

  BL,

  I am sorry that the diversity of views expressed on this list has upset you.  Freedom of speech was not meant to protect popular speech that the majority find palatable.  The first amendment  was intended specifically to protect UNPOPULAR speech.  While, as Sunil has cogently pointed out, you certainly have the right to consider only those views with which you agree,  I believe that your intellectual growth would be better served if you attempted to understand the views and concerns of those with whom you disagree.

  Our diversity is our strength, BL, don't fall for the temptation to shun those who are different from you.

  Relying on your fair -- mindedness,   ---Tony
