It can be said 100,000 times, but it still comes out the same: Just as in "The only cure for bad speech is more speech", "the only cure for 'list-focus-drift' is more on-focus postings".
THE PRICE OF FREE SPEECH IS TOLERANCE OF IDEAS THAT WE MAY OBJECT TO.
Comversely, some people are willing to give up their own freedom of speech so as to silence others whose views they don't like.
Who could be that stupid? Why would they even want to give up an inch of their freedoms?
They hope that they'll be censored less than their "enemies".
A weak hope at best. Once you start censoring it becomes a "Slippery Slope".
But a forum can't be "a little bit censored" just like a woman can't be "a little bit pregnant".
You got that right! =-=-=-=-=-=- Ross Wright King Media: Bulk Sales of Software Media and Duplication Services http://www.slip.net/~cdr/kingmedia Voice: 415-206-9906
