I should think folk who post here or even read the postings know that I'm opposed to censorship. I think the board shows that people can express themselves freely here. I hope it's not too radical a notion to suggest that this freedom should include the chap whose name is at the head of the web site. If I see something on this board I disagree with, I'll make that clear if I choose to. I believe I do so in a civilised fashion.

There's a kind of censorship that involves implied self righteousness, which manifests through well chosen words from a hierarchical source. Which in itself implies a sense of expectation unfulfilled.

Daddy is shouting at you and expects you to learn from the tone of his voice.

Jese, I'm really beginning to feel sorry for Ramsey. He's going to have to start another thread about this one now. I've disagreed with Ramsey on some issues in the past, but I do think he's entitled to more respect than either name-calling or sardonicism. It's not the points that are being made that I object to as such, it's the tone.

So it's OK to disagree with stuff as long as long as you do so in a shambolic, inarticulate manner? I mean, that suits me, obviously, but it may not suit everyone.

To quote from 'The Real McCoy': I have witnessed foolishness before, but never this intense.

We agree then.

Joel,

It seems I've been misinterpreted. When I said:

"It's not the points that are being made that I object to as such, it's the tone."

I was referring to Tony's in another thread and Albie's here.

Sorry, Proto. I wasn't talking about you. I got what you were saying.

Ramsey's staying quiet. He's probably written a short story in the time we've wasted here.

Tony's tone stems from the fact that he long felt attacked by Ramsey. My tone is that I agree with him.

I suppose the bigger the balls the more the licks.

My wife burnt the original transcript. I'll have to write it out again, what with my lungs and everything.

Ha!... at least... I think I get the joke I think you were making....

Yeah, that's the kind of stuff I want to read a whole novel-full of.

Tee hee.

In reality, I will never write again. My psychopathia has travelled from my brain to my enteric nervous system.

I could murder a pizza.

Ha, Gary! I love the posts this morning!

You guys should go off the deep end and piss each other off and ruffle the local voivode then mill around like anthill-mashed ants all the time....
