Are you honestly that stupid? From your posts I do not believe so, ergo I must assume that, again, you are trolling for a response.

Not trying to shout down/shut down an opinion and view you can neither agree with nor support there are you Org'asmo ?

I can assure you that there are particpants in this forum who if pressed to be really honest about it, can vouch that the basic views/position I'm sharing/taking now are totally consistent with views/positions I was sharing/taking 17 years ago.

Oh, and one of those particpants would be Mark Newton for that matter.

So yes, according to you, unless you are willing to see more than one side to all of this along with more different levels of "right", I must honestly either be "that stupid" or a whole bunch of things that are not necessarily trolling.

I for one prefer as far as possible to neither live, think, nor judge by such dualistic/limited "if it ain't xmas, it must be easter" type filters.

I reckon that the essential truth of this filtering thing is that "censorship is bad some but not all of the time", and that "the internut should be free and unfettered some but not all of the time".

Governments get it right some but not all of the time. You and I are obviously going to have different ideas re: the current topic at hand and how right or wrong our elected government have got it, but who knows what we might agree upon on some other topic ?

Oh, and one should only think/deal in absolutes some but not all of the time ... :)
