Steely, that "*you* brought of Censorship" is so "you said it first" 
childish that it made me laugh. Perhaps I did bring it up first. 
There. But apparently my message was unclear, because the rest of you 
paragraph above does not speak to the point that I was trying to 
make. I simply opined that strong censorial ad hominum message such 
as some by you to Blaine has a greater "chilling effect" than does 
suggesting civility, which has been called censorship  by some 
lister. I really believe that putting the civility in civilization 
is, in general, a good thing.
