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. |

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