>So no U of Chicago funding is used. And the civility policy is explicit. So can you please consider that really carefully before bringing this up again?
-------------------Fi,
Why the abrasive tone of voice?
I don't want to get bogged down in a lengthy discussion on this topic. We can leave that for the attorneys. However, I will respond briefly to your comment.
The U of C is subject to federal anti-discrimination laws because it receives federal grant monies. Yes, I know it is a private institution, but if you go to the U of C web site, accounting records are available. In those accounting records you will note that U of C accepts federal grant monies. Pbabble is associated with the U of C at a number of connection points, one of which is the routing of donation funds through a U of C account. Much more could be said about other connections but, in the interest of time, I'll leave it at that.
I was not trying to be mean to anyone in any way. I was merely pointing out to Kid_A that his/her suggestion to "remove repeated religiously dogmatic posts from the site entirely" would likely be a violation of federal law if implemented.
