I'm quite sure that the exi-freedom list is indeed free of dissent and ieologically monochromatic. But, on to the attack, for which I still hold bitter memories...
First of all, many on the list know such an event DID occur; the public record of it is in the list archives, and during the e-siege I received several private emails of support from people who were terrorized to go public with such support (which was indeed, I believe, the intention). Many of the people who were present for it are still subscribed, and their memories have not failed them, whether or not thay have the courage to connect those memories to their fingers. Perhaps your gambit, Mr. NRA, is to re-marshall the original gang/pack and force a confrontational choice - toss the whole gang, or just toss me - hoping that numbers will trump the fairness and justice of who is objectively and provably correct in the matter.
Thusly another droogie who was involved in the original perpetration chimes in; it's like deja vu redux.
