Kamikaze Censorship

[Henry M]

Steely, c'mon! Censorship is just a buzzword here. I'd think a 
thoughtful person such as yourself would recognize that there is a 
difference between suggesting decent behaviour and censorship.
You might as well suggest that all argument is censorship; then were 
would your argument be?

I think, Steely, that sometimes you know better, but can't help being 
your argumentative self. Are you from the North East? I am, but I 
outgrew the automatic disputation.

Tipper Gore! Great image, but it doesn't wash. Unlike the tipsy one, 
I've always been against censorship of any kind. ACLU and all that. 
But doesn't mean that I'm in favour of misogynist rap music. No one 
ever suggested revoking anyone's "privileges" on this list, so that 
buzzward "Censorship" just doesn't wash.

Hey, Steely. The "Tipper" crack sounds like the kinda labelling that 
both Tipper and Rush could both enjoy.
