As others have said, this is not a free speech issue. It's not even a censorship issue.<br>
<br>
Those concepts pertain to government issues. If someone wants to spew terrible things like this in a public square and people argued that he should be arrested, then that would be a free speech issue. If the government says that people can't publish ideas like this, that is censorship. Even then, our society has placed limits ("yell fire in a theatre", publishing hate speech, etc).<br>

What this is, is a decision on how the administrators of this group wishes to shape this group. If the administration of TLUG decides that William's comments are fair game, that is their choice.<br>
<br>
So I would like to ask for a formal statement from TLUG on whether comments like William's are considered acceptable or not.<br>
<br>
Once this policy is stated, members can decide if they wish to support that policy by remaining members.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></blockquote><div> </div></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">
Thank you for starting this thread. I agree with Dave, William's post was absolutely sexual harassment and has no place here. If the moderators consider that kind of thing acceptable, I will be forced to leave TLUG.<br>
