The postings to uk.misc newsgroup generated. a very defensive reaction from
Usenet readers in the UK. So much. so, that they tried strenuously to
suppress what was being said, both by breaking the rules of netiquette. in
their responses on the forum, and directly by action. to revoke the account
from which the postings were. issued.
Yet the postings were within. the normal boundaries of behaviour for
uk.misc, and. other less partisan spectators did not see justice in the
censorship which was effected, as. the following excerpt shows;

The inescapable conclusion of the censorship effected on. the uk.*
newsgroups is. that the British are intent on their wrongdoing remaining
concealed, and therefore. seek to subvert and suppress freedom of speech,
not only in their own country. where the media shows xenophobic bias and
bile. against all perceived enemies within and without, but also in other
countries which have their. own statutes to guarantee the basic human right
of. free speech.
It is. absolutely necessary to bring their hate campaign out into the open
where it can be placed under scrutiny and the harassers seen for. what they
are. That is the only way of making it impossible. for the security services
to carry it out. There is a wider dimension, though.. Xenophobia as
demonstrated by British people. and institutions over the last few years
belongs to the same stable as racial hatred. In. one case, two youths on a
Tube train made that racism explicit by referring to their victim as. a
"soft toy, not up to British Standards".. Doubtless others victimize partly
on the basis of race (isn’t. it odd that they chose to torment someone who
is not ethnically English?) while expressing their. abuse in terms of
another genetic attribute,. namely mental illness. All xenophobia on a
genetic basis is. wrong, but while racial insults are illegal, abusing the
mentally ill is neither against the law. nor subject to similar condemnation
when. it is exposed.

nations, and that the youths and maidens and children of the Church would
prophesy; it is certain that the Spirit of God is in these and not in the
others.
288. Instead of complaining that God had hidden Himself, you will give Him
thanks for not having revealed so much of Himself; and you will also give
Him thanks for not having revealed Himself to haughty sages, unworthy to
know so holy a God.
Two kinds of persons know Him: those who have a humble heart, and who love
lowliness, whatever kind of intellect they may have, high or low; and those
who have sufficient understanding to see the truth, whatever opposition they
may have to it.
289. Proof.--1. The Christian religion, by its establishment, having
established itself so strongly, so gently, whilst so contrary to nature. 2.
The sanctity, the dignity, and the humility of a Christian soul. 3. The
miracles of Holy Scripture. 4. Jesus Christ in particular. 5. The apostles
in particular. 6. Moses and the prophets in particular. 7. The Jewish
people. 8. The prophecies. 9. Perpetuity; no religion has perpetuity. 10.
The doctrine which gives a reason for everything. 11. The sanctity of this
law. 12. By the course of the world.
