No mod. here, does not want to be accused of favoritism, for censoring one view, when the originalmessage in question might be a bit hot in the virtual halls of disccusion. the Freedom of Speech, is a indaring and beloved double-edged sword.To moderate those, who take offense to the message, who wish to make their view known...will cry censorship bells across the net.
