I made my 12:27 post when the first two postings had been deleted. That's why I felt the need for clarification; the single preceding post, displayed without context, was quite puzzling.

I can understand why some folks might find it appropriate to censor the book in question, but I really don't think think that our discussion should have been censored. This is a legitimate and intersting controversy.

I'm a bit surprised that Joe deleted the opening of this discussion, and very glad that he reconsidered.
