Meanwhile, I will have the rights of reply and self defence.

There are no such things as "human rights". We are not born with any
intrinsic "rights" any more than trees and wasps are. I wish
politicians, do gooders and do badders would realise this simple fact.
What we do have is certain guarantees depending on the context. For
example if we are a citizen of Holland we have the guarantee of a Dutch
passport, health cover, education etc. If we have the bad luck to be a
citizen of Dafor we have approximately no guarantees at all.

And so to the internet. It doesn't take very much to figure out that we
have no guarantees of anything in an unmoderated group. You don't have
any "rights" as such - all you have is the freedom to express yourself
however you want in words. Freedom to do something isn't the same as
the right to do something, even though it may work out the same in
practice. Andy
