I found nothing abusive in these posts.  Passion, irritation, 
frustration, yes.  Lengthy, yes.  If these are reasons for 
suspension, then most of the posters would be suspended.  

None of us enjoys what we feel is noise, but noise to me is not 
noise to others.  I think the list monitors need to be a bit more 
cautious in determinig abuse.  Further, I suspect that if this type of 
suspension continues, it will be due to complaints from those who 
wish to silence opposition to their viewpoints.  

Perhaps it would be better to post the complaints or at least those 
who complained as well as the suspension notice.  It may be a bit 
of a deterrent to frivolous complaints.
