	I was not suggesting that we don't listen to jj, but simply pointing
out that if he wants to censor articles, he can also be expected to be
censored similarly. I believe the last line of my article puts it rather
succinctly - "Censor not, lest ye be censored."
/* ---------- */

I have just read the original article by rabbit!jj, and there is
nothing about it which can be construed as censorship.  The article
merely states his belief that the quotation from the Socialist paper
was without value and contained a request that the author and others
not post any more quotes from it.  Censorship involves restraint, not
requests.  Unless jj is somehow prohibiting the transmission of
articles, or restricting what others post by coercion, then his actions
have nothing whatever to do with censorship.
