  Clarification: I am uninterested in campaign speeches arguing that
this list should allow discussion of how do something illegal.

  If you want to campaign that a class of activities, in general,
should or should not be illegal, knock yourself out.  Just don't get
into specifics.

  To use a really bad analogy: If you want to argue that homicide
should not be illegal, I don't have a problem with that (as the server
operator).  But I would object to anyone giving instructions on how to
kill others and get away with it, or links to same.  I'd also frown
upon anyone claiming they commit homicide on a regular basis.
