That isn't sociopathic. And in fact is based on reason, the recognition
that others lack the same interest and that a goodly number of them are
unable to discuss issues that are contrary to their pet theories. I love
it when people holler about filtering like this, it simply demonstrates
the lack of plasticity in their own mental and philosophical behaviour.
In fact it looks quite like a comment that Tim made when he was bitching
at one of the list members about their 'off topic' posts. What a
hypocrite.

No we didn't. And please quit talking for the CDR operators unless you
happen to run a node. We are quite able to speak for ourselves thank you
very much.
The reality is that only the backbone is unfiltered. The policies of
filtering and such are decided by each node operator.
Get your facts straight and stop speaking for people you have no right to
represent.

You're easily effected emotionaly. You should look into that.
