It's not and issue of censorship: it's of keeping someone from yelling fire in a crowded theatre when there's no fire. Causing harm to a person emotionally is wrong and offensive. Let's end this discussion now and be professional, respectful, and helpful.

We are all adults and surely know how to use a computer well enough to hit the delete key. AND we DO Write what the message is about on the subject line. Those who do not wish to read the posts abour a particular topic or from a particular person should hit delete. Again I repeat I detest censorship, especially in this listserv.

Why is the list still being censored anyway? You don't moderate, but you censor?
