The problem with censoring threads, is that once one thread starts to censor, the discussion tends to move to another thread. Then that thread becomes a haven for attack dogs as they have a safe haven on their own censored thread, which no one can respond to...then they come here and dirty up this thread.

I've always thought that censoring is bad for the discussion, but once it gets started on one thread, it's likely to be needed on others. The best world would be one with out any censorship.

Since the Bush thread is heavily censored, Chinu may consider the need to censor a few of the worst offenders from this thread too.

My thinking is that Chinu and MKTBUZZ should both open up the threads to uncensored posting. But short of that some retaliatory censoring may be needed on this thread. Hopefully the discussion will not be harmed. In the case of JakeStraw...he was not adding to any intelligent discussion. If Chinu gave him the ax, then he was well deserved of being one of the casualties in the censor wars.
