Negative comments

Actually Steve, there's no urging needed. Below are just a few paragraphs
of the correspondence I received in the last couple of months. You
see, the "intimidation" has already done its job. Many people are already
afraid
to give their opinions on the issue publicly. Does that make anyone happy?
I would say there's a difference between negative and malicious. If
subscribers
are only allowed to say positive things about businesses and companies, it
will
be really borrrrriiiinnnnggg.
And as far as I'm concerned, the only one who can stop me from posting my
comments here is the listmom. Until Cynthia says so, no one is going to
stop me.
