Those who impose censorship always have reasons for it, and usually consider it, at least from their point of view, reasonable and fair. That's the way humans are. Actually, I am not and have not objected to the existence of censored threads, and the post that started all this was not an objection to those threads. Quite the contrary. I simply made a comment on this thread which said "Hey, I don't think anybody who's still here is stupid. All the stupid ones ran off to the censorship thread. " Message 17164816 Obviously I hit a nerve, because there were howls of protest. It even led JLA, though the post wasn't addressed to him, to post to me in violation of my frequent requests to him not to do so. So he proved himself not only a censor but a hypocrite. Not that that's anything new, we've know that about him for a while. But the vehemence of the objections makes clear to me that there is guilt there, the wicked fleeing where no man pursueth. Frankly, I would be just as happy if JLA went back to the censored threads and stayed there and left this thread to people who believe in free speech in fact, not just in lip service. But of course he won't do that, preferring to stalk me against my desires.
