One geek's 'noise' is another geek's datastream. Tail-ending, boilerplate postings of mbs of non-related info, other ploys for attention ... all those things go back to the inception of lists, forums, comment trees. The people DOING THAT are, in a way, attempting to censor the flow of information. I alway make them for mentally ill individuals, people with an axe to grind about the individuals on the list (see point 1), or cops trying to crudely disrupt the topic at hand or the forum's operations. I personalty believe humans CAN distinguish a legitimate difference and act appropriately on it. I just don't see it happen that way very often in reality. Rr
Tell us quinn what to do with people like you, who post very stupid 'defenses' of CENSORSHIP in an allegedly crypto-anarchist mailing list?
He's differentiating between floods of off-topic material which acts to censor real discussion by hiding it in noise vs. removing discussion which simply doesn't agree with some (explicit or implicit) preferential view.
You have to admit that it's different, si?
