I notice that most of your posting is done at the "Clown-Free Zone". That excellent thread is heavily censored. It is strange that your principles don't preclude you from posting there (or even raising a small complaint about the censorship).

Have you read your Constitution today?

Where private property is concerned, the owner has the right, exclusively, to determine what forms of speech and expression are acceptable. Individuals desiring to act outside of those bounds are free, and gloriously so, to ask for permission and/or not partake of the property thereafter indicated.

To that extent, "censorship" is essentially the sole domain of the government. Being told what you can or can't say in another individual's domain - home, club, internet website - is simply, well, how it is.

I'd be surprised if you didn't know that. And if you did, or do, are you implicitly suggesting that property is or should be communal in nature?

And lastly, is it not hypocritical that you'd make this type of complaint about individuals' private threads often, while - according to your definition - "censoring" your own?

Subject 51862

Or did I misunderstand your blather? Forgive me if so -
