It seems your central point has been made and listened to several times over, Carl and Wayne. Some of us agree; some disagree. I vote we skip bringing out the torn & ratty old arguments of censorship, free speech, insults, yada, when it is clear who seems to have the most free speech in this group.
Your communication skills are many and varied and respected here. As I say constantly, probably 98% of Americans want the same things: a good education, job, healthcare, clean air, food, land, water, security. For any anti-war or pro-Americans movement to succeed, we mustbfocus on our common goals of course. Splitting up constituencies was the ultimate cause of the 60s Civil Rights Movement's downfall. Womyn's rights only got so far, black womyn's rights less far, and marijuana was criminalized. Etc.
Are you ignoring the move to vote on staying on anti-war topics only, having a group meeting to discuss it, or starting a different discussion group?

Do you intend to censor posts to the <peace-dscuss> email list, as you do to the <peace> email list, Stuart?
Censorship is a peculiar practice for a liberal, isn’t it?

Look, I signed up for AWARE as an anti-war group. I go with David
and Ann and Karen to work the farmer's market twice a month, and to
the monthly demonstrations, to express and work for opposition to US
participation in wars around the world. I've done that and other
things for many years, as many of you know who have been doing it
beside me.
I'm here on this list and others for discussion of opposition to war
and what we can do about it.
I didn't sign up to AWARE, and neither did the several people who
joined this list just last weekend, to join an anti-abortion
(and-oh-by-the-way-never-mind-what-happens-to-the-mothers) group.
Anyone here who wishes to start or join such a group, run a market
presence, hold demonstrations, carry on discussions, is welcome
to. But not on this list, please.

If you are right, then the power of
your argument should be sufficient
to squelch those who oppose your ideas, and you ought not need
to appeal to
a higher (Levitical) authority for narrowing of the limits of
debate.
And when you are wrong, to admit the fault, delete the offending
code, and reboot.

Dear Moderator :) What is the agreement for
what people are allowed to publish here? I hate to lose
subscribers because we go off topic. (Guilty, I know).

A paraphrase:
"Until the conditions for Americans in the world (beset by
terrorists) change, access to safe drone assassinations needs
to be an option, if you value the life of Americans.
"If you don't value the life of Americans, then criminalize
them."
