Justin was kind enough to inform me that there's no problem with respect to
the First Amendment:

Fair enough. We're in cyber-America and when in cyber-America, do as the
cyber-Americans do.

However, what I really wanted an opinion on was the question of the right
to a defence, to due explicit warning before sanctions are implemented and
so on. You know, to avoid kangaroo courts, summary procedures and the
things everybody was so het up about in another place at another time. The
old categorical imperative, sauce for the goose and sauce for the gander,
fair dos and all that - basically, how universally democratic are the
principles of bourgeois democracy?

Please?

Cheers,

Hugh
