Freedom of expression is a very difficult subject to breach. But I will say this. We (at nycr) wouldn't tolerate shouting matches in our hackerspace. Not between members and certainly not with guests.<br><br>Now maybe you do things differently, but we find that a hostile environment is not conducive to our goals of learning sharing and making.<br>

I didn't make the comment about Ohio. But I have seen CCC members on
road trips through the US remark about the size of the US exceeding
their expectations. It is a pretty big country in it's own right.<br>

For the record these are the total area sizes for Germany and Ohio. Looks like Germany is approximately three times it's size.<br>
<br>
357,021 sq km
Germany<br>
116,103 sq km Ohio<br>

BTW. Standing ovations for your wonderful call for general censorship. That's so fucking wonderful, I can't believe it. A real public relations smash hit.<br>
