Re: Re: Boston radio now-- or rather, Clear Channel radio now

All I can say is that, for someone who took umbrage at 
being labelled anti-choice, you seem hell bent on 
denying everyone who doesn't agree with you the choice 
to express him or herself. You are free to express your 
own opinions here on matters related to the list's topic 
of radio. Why then, do you keep trying to censor 
opinions that don't concur with yours on subjects that 
are on topic?

Clearly, politics and communications are tightly 
intertwined. Only someone with his head deep in the sand 
would seriously try to invoke cloture on postings that 
relate both to radio and politics. If you can't live 
with the freedom of expression the list provides, either 
stop reading the postings from people you feel will say 
something you don't like, or stop reading the group 
altogether. We'll miss you, but the group will go on.
