Barbara, I don't think you're seeing the issue all that accurately. Just as there is a right to free speech, there's a right to ignore the speech of others. That's the function of the Ignore List here. What would come close to approximating the loss of free speech rights would be for the mods to ban someone because of what they posted.

Of course, chat lists aren't democracies.........................
