No thanks, bone. As I suspected, it's an "amen chorus" you're talkin' 'bout. What we have here are some mature individuals who are trying to run a commercial site, and they can't have a political forum for the privileged few, membership contingent upon approval. They have to accept people as they come, no matter what their background or views. That's the kind of equality you can aspire to, and responsible freedom of expression will flow from that.
