The vagueness comes from how the determination is made. If poster XYZ simply declares that s/he wants the rule invoked as to a particular poster, I guess the directive is not vague. If the rationale is absolute--i.e., whatever the poster wants s/he gets---then I guess there are no standards required to justify the demand for a "notoorabout". If you want to require standards for the threshhold application of the rule, that's where the vagueness comes in. It's still prior restraint no matter how you slice it.

Gem, let's not get wrapped around the axle on this. I think we all recognize "bannable" posts. When someone complains to you, that's when you can make the decision. As many times as I heard it during the recent hearings for the Supremes, I can't believe I forgot the term, but maybe setting some precedents would be the way to go, rather than trying to pre-legislate and think of all possible circumstances. Let's not define ourselves out of existence. Just remembered! Stare decisis. I'm so proud! <GGG>

I own or moderate a couple of Yahell lists. I read every post, and when I think someone is out of line, I tell them privately. If they fail to understand thay are out of line I encourage them to start their own list, by removing their ability to post on mine. I hope if I post something you don't like or is way off topic you will privately tell me, If I don't agree I will privately tell you. If I keep it up I expect you will end out relationship, cause at that point that is what I would do for you. To me this is like a living room, unruly or rude guests are welcome to use someone elses.
