Your request would have been a little easier to take seriously if it had
not be followed by your next sentence.  You may not have intended it but
it is easy to read as if it an indirect attack on Keith.  I will assume
that it is not.

As Natasha said in her post:
 "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."

I should point out that that I am not unbiased in this matter.  Keith
Henson is one of people who was very influential in my understanding of
cryonics and my decision to sign up.
