Hmmm, that came out wrong.  (maybe I should start
actually reading my posts before I send them. =P).  We
all ought to very carefully consider what anyone says
and reject it if it is preposterous.  But we shouldn't
gag them.  The thing that bugged me was someone
mentioned they could be prosecuted for saying things
like that.  If that's true, it strikes me as pretty evil.
