Thread Name: BS: The Shambles Whine About Mudcat Thread
Subject: RE: BS: Is the Mudcat overpoliced?
I have commented on the actual issues, saying that I disagree with the significance you place on what I regard as relatively minor incidents, that I am satisfied with the way Joe and the others carry out the tasks which they have volunteered to do, and that my answer to the question posed in the modified thread heading above is "No".

Commenting on "where" and "how" opinions are posted is as much a matter for other people as commenting on the opinions themselves. In certain circumstances we have the right to say "I wish you would shut up," ("where"), and also the right to comment on the manner of someone's discourse ("how").

That is a reasonable exercise of free speech, and it does not interfere with the reasonable exercise of right of free speech by the other person.
