For one, I would suggest that those who see the problem
as stemmming from _responses_ to Ed get an attitude
adjustment, and certainly refrain from suggesting that
the solution is to just let him spew without challenge
or response, and to stop blaming the victims in this
case. We got folks going on about his right to spew,
and those same folks think others only have the right
to ignore it and nothing more. (Ironically, some also
see no right to worship PS on a PS list, which still
boggles...)
