Unless you're telling me they can explicitly stop people from posting to, say, an MP3 newsgroup; which of course they can't.

They can censor or not carry that newsgroup but that's not the same thing. If there was a court order to block binary newsgroups they would have to comply with that too.


Yes. That's true. They could block access to them but they don't because that would be censorship and they would, quite rightly IMO, attract a lot of "bad press" for it.
You know anyone would think you own VM the way you defend it like this. You Sir are on my Ignore list for the simple reason your posts are the most biased posts on this forum and DO NOT make for reasoned reading. Plus i hope people understand you do NOT work or speak for VM thankfully.

At least the facility exists and is easy to control though - over on TBB you have to email Seb to ignore somebody who you find irritating.

It was always on the cards that this thread would degenerate into arguments as the subject is contentious. As soon as one particular individual joined (who is not yet on my ignore list but may soon qualify) degeneration was a certainty as every thread he joins goes that way. An expert troll imo.
