Michael, I think I'm more politically conservative than you are... I
agree with many of your political and religious views.

This isn't the issue, here.

The issue is the *forum* in which you are expressing your views.  A few
things need to be taken in to account:

1)  PLUG is dominated by far-left bleeding-heart liberals.
2)  Nothing you say is going to change anybody's mind about politics.
3)  PLUG is supposed to be about *technical* discussion, not politics.
4)  Two wrongs rarely make a right.

So... nobody is wishing you to be silent *because of* your views, merely
because you chose to air those views in an inappropriate forum.
