Unlike individuals who claim to support freedom of speech yet only
support such freedom when it suits their own particular agendas,
Chris Caputo *does* have an unshakeable belief in freedom of speech,
including that of the right of others to criticise his service and/or
users, even when the complainants are Altopia customers themselves.
Chris also not only supported the creation of
uk.local.yorkshire.moderated, but the right of its moderators to
exclude Altopia users should they see fit:

You should be aware of this, since the attention of
free.uk.talk.sheffield was drawn to it:

Before bombarding Chris Caputo with spurious complaints surely
destined for the bit bucket, you may want to consider the above and
the fact that Chris does an excellent job (I believe single handedly,
which is quite some achievement considering the complexity of running
a Usenet service in this day and age), largely so that individuals
such as yourself are able to obtain the benefits of unfettered free
speech which you claim to espouse.
