This is nothing but knee-jerk bullshit, Paul, and you should be ashamed
of such sloppy logic-free thinking.

To refuse to say certain things is not censorship.  Failing to give free
use of one's own soapbox to opponents is not censorship.  Censorship
consists of preventing certain things from being said by others.  (Can
you believe that some people go so far as to claim that refusing to
*read* certain things is censorship?  People that stupid ought to have
their usenet privileges revoked!   :-)
