Yitzy is wrong. The natural and Constitutional right of/to free speech is for everyone, even those who are opposed to freedom. And while I'm certain that all sane persons wish that Hitler and his National Socialists had been prevented from taking the actions they took, that doesn't equate to not letting them speak or publish. Now, private sites certainly have a right to refuse to carry *any* groups they find offensive. And the folks on Usenet certainly have the right to vote a group up or down. So please don't post saying, "But we're not violating free speech by rejecting this group"; I'm not saying that's the case -- I'm just rebutting Yitzy's attempt to limit the *principle* of free speech.
