The British people and their counterparts in the Commonwealth are certainly permitted to feel of her any way they please.

Actually, I believe the opposite is true: that "treason" is still a punishable offence among the English monarchy's claimed subjects?

Jette Goldie
"treason"? yes, treason is still an offence - in times of war. It doesn't generally get considered to include saying nasty anti-monarchy statements on newsgroups - no matter whether some of us think it ought to or not.

Being a pratt is not illegal - just stupid.

And so we continue to try sweet reason with Louis and the other

monarchists,

rather than just kill-filing them out of hand...

If everyone killfiled people whose viewpoint differed it would be rather pointless using newsgroups, bloody hell! Could it be we've just agreed on something? I find many posters viewpoints can be offensive, but to killfile them all would be pointless, to date I think there are three or four names in my killfile, all pornheads.
