Incorrect. I don't support censorship, never have.

I suspect if we really start to distill your assertion just made, Dean, we will find all sorts of censorship going on in your day to day life that you are not only quite willing to support, but also quite happily too ... and a lot of it you are so used to either doing or receiving that you're probably barely even away of it.

In fact, I sure you self-censored when you were writing that reply. I know I am now. :)

I also think we are all hypocrites when it comes to non self-generated censorship.

For example, we often want various Powers That Be to stop, prosecute, remove, punish, etc, etc, etc Uncle Bill or Neighbore Janice for doing this or that because it is Soooo wrong or Soooo annoying (etc ... with the Sooo Wrong usually determined by subjective morality based thinking), but Filters Forefend that we ourselves could ever be deemed worthy of such attentions from the Powers That Be for our own Sooo wrong behaviour as decided by others !

Which is another reason why I'm somewhat amused by the apparent gnashing of teeth and chest beating over this obviously doomed to failure filtering system.
