To get the wording correct, I was careful to edit the original article, substituting jj's name for the source which HE said should not be heard from. I guess that the article which came from jj has not gotten to your site yet, or that it got lost in the shuffle. I forgive you for your outburst and I expect a similar one for jj when HIS article finally gets to you, densehead.

Mr. Debendi:
I posted that article because rabbit!jj had just said the exact
thing about another article on the net. To get the wording correct, I
was careful to edit the original article, substituting jj's name for the

I was not suggesting that we don't listen to jj, but simply pointing
out that if he wants to censor articles, he can also be expected to be
censored similarly. I believe the last line of my article puts it rather
succinctly - "Censor not, lest ye be censored."

I believe the last line of my article puts it rather succinctly - "Censor not, lest ye be censored." /* ---------- */ I have just read the original article by rabbit!jj, and there is nothing about it which can be construed as censorship. The article merely states his belief that the quotation from the Socialist paper was without value and contained a request that the author and others not post any more quotes from it. Censorship involves restraint, not requests. Unless jj is somehow prohibiting the transmission of articles, or restricting what others post by coercion, then his actions have nothing whatever to do with censorship.
