     While the idea of some code or "constitution" for csa2 may spring 
from the best of intentions, it overlooks an essential fact: Csa2 has 
worked and continues to work just fine. The overwhelming majority of II 
users who read and post to this newsgroup have no difficulty handling 
Free Speech, discerning truth, and making ethically correct decisions.

     A "truce"? Fine; but, like, where is the war?

     On one side we have the mini-clique of 'usual suspects' complaining 
that csa2 members are dolts and fools who need to have their forum 
censored. They are, nearly always, the ones who seek to limit, shut down, 
close off, and sabotage Apple II resources and initiatives. On the other 
side, we have everyone else, which is to say about 99% of those of us who 
participate in csa2.

     This is a pretty one-sided situation. A conflict between such 
mismatched 'forces' hardly qualifies as a "war" requiring abatement via a 
"truce". Besides, as the creator of FlameStation has observed in another 
thread, an occasional tempest in a teapot can be entertaining!
