Then why did you tell me it was none of my business?

So your free speech consists of telling me that I do not have free speech?

And my free speech continues to allow me to inquire exactly why one SI member referred another SI member's message to the FBI antiterror web site.

The person who pointed this out to me evidently thought that the purpose was to report that poster to the FBI, and the context of the messages certainly gave that impression.

I asked Ground Zero why he forwarded the message.

Here is what I said:

"Just to make sure there is no misunderstanding, would you confirm that what you said in your post means that you reported that other SI poster to the FBI as a possible terror threat?
That is how it is being understood elsewhere."


If that's not what he did, he has not bothered to explain what it was that he meant to do.

Even if the idea was just to "help" the FBI with the content of the message, it may not have been a good idea.

You know, I seem to have overlooked the fact that you started all this with your "report the prick" message and by providing the URL for the FBI site.

Why did you do that?
