  15. I think the recent flap over MIM and misc.activism.progressive clearly
  16. demonstrates that misc.activism.progressive has become exactly what we
  17. were told it would not be - a megaphone for Harel to promulgate views
  18. he agrees with while muffling those he disagrees with.
  19.  
  20. I feel very strongly that this is contrary to the basic spirit of
  21. Usenet - free, unfettered debate.
  22.  
  23. Therefore, I think that misc.activism.progressive should be
  24. unmoderated.

  26. Comments, please?
