I have not followed this thread have cannot be objective about its content, 
but one thing is for sure.  This is  about a human being whose freedom of 
speech has been violated.  This human being is also a member our extending 
community.  How we deal with this will leave an indelible impression on 
people considering to become cryonicists.

Not everyone has to like everyone and not everyone and his or her choices 
in life.  It  is how we deal with people when they are in need that sets an 
example.  And this, as an extended arm, is where cyronics comes in.  A 
premise of cryonics is that those who are alive will be here to assist and 
help those in need of reanimation.

I hope that we can set an example while we are sill here now of the 
behaviors we will later employ both when we are those in need and who who 
can help others in need.

Best wishes,
Natasha

circle and everything outside the circle, then that is an open system 
perspective. - Buckminster Fuller
