Second, and this one is tricky, there are ground rules on fr. Xposting to
fr.soc.politique (where I can assure you that free speech is totaly alive)
is considered as an abuse. Posting off topic *on a regular basis* is also
considered an abuse. It's NOT a matter of opinion, it's just a matter of
being on topic.

  In this thread (and similar earlier ones), the word/term "abuse" is
often used in a context when it's mostly about undesired/unwanted posts
- a "nuisance" as Olivier mentioned - i.e. posts which some people do
not like for whatewver reason. So not abuse *of* the net (note "of", not
"off") - abuse which hinders proper operation of the net itself (like
(real) flooding) -, but abuse *on* the net - posts which are a
"nuisance", but do not hinder proper operation of the net itself.

  Also in the above example, Xposting to fr.soc.politique and frequent
off topic posting are likely to be abuse *on* the net, not abuse *of*
the net.

  Anyway, as I said before, little can be done for both these cases,
other than client-side filtering (by software or just ignoring) and
restraint (not responding to such posts).

  So a kind request to all: If you say something is "abuse", indicate if
(you think) it's abuse on the net or abuse of the net and if the latter,
*prove* it's abuse of the net by citing chapter and verse, i.e.  *where*
does it say what you claim/imply. Thanks.
