FWIW....it ain't worth much.

nor is the price of admission here,
devoid of any meaningful debate,
such as it is.

if anyone is wondering where the breeze
is coming from, you needn't look too far for
an explanation. it may best be described as
a CHILLING effect. it is what
happens when free expression becomes actionable.

in other words, when one is silenced by another for
saying something, although others may have said the
same thing, or close to it, and others continue to say such
things, or close to it, but by definition are immune from
punishment, then ALL OF US BECOME WARY OF SPEAKING
OUT because no one is quite sure WHO IS NEXT, left only
with selective enforcement which has been precipitated
by motivated parties...

janice was suspended from si at the instigation of another
on a basis i find mystifying. i just wanted to give notice;
i am not interested in so-called debate here.
