Does "heavily censored thread" mean that lying scumbags like you get banned?

Your article is so poorly researched that you get a number of key facts wrong that invalidate your already weak argument. Indeed the very first sentence, "A professor at the American University here recently ordered copies of "The Diary of Anne Frank" for his classes, only to learn that the book is banned" is factually incorrect. English instructor Sean Lee, an advisor to the student book club, did not order The Diary of Anne Frank for his classes, indeed he didn't try to order it at all. The student president of the AUB book club attempted to do so through the AUB bookstore. All you would've had to have done is look at this blogpost by Sean Lee himself to find this out. You would've also notice the comic ineptitude of the Lebanese censors because only the English version of Anne Frank is banned, and that the French edition is widely available. So maybe its a sloppy article, but the important point is that The Diary of Anne Frank is banned by censors in Lebanon, and apparently the other works mentioned are as well.
