Well, make this "the virtue of clear writing on sensitive issues". There is
absolutely no indication whatsoever in your post that you intended its
subject line in the way you now claim you did. On the other hand, the
intratextual connection between "Gib Nazis keine Chance!" ("Don't give Nazis
a chance!"), the phrase "'list-nazi' Millison" (which expression alone I
indeed would not have commented upon) and your heroic "Fuck censorship!"
outcry seems clear enough: You establish an analogy between Doug's statement
in favour of a moderated P-list and National Socialist ideology.  This I
objected to. That you may have had to come to terms with some rather
complicated thought processes while composing your mail is none of my
business - unless these reflections find some sort of representation in the
words on the page or, in this case, screen.
