What you call it matters little. The first thing is to know how to recognise it and the second is how to combat it - where ever you find it.

I didn't realize at the time that this was the snake pit piece on the internal standards of this forum. Shambles rose up when he saw the thread had been resuscitated, hoping for another round of his favorite whine. So I could have chosen more accurately.

My point is exactly that this idea that you can dabble in some areas of you life with restricting freedom of speech, whilst at the same time, safely critising Governments and institutions for doing the same, that I find so damaging and hypocritical.

Back to Amos's cut and paste. If these young poets where writing poems that supported race-hate, beating women and terrorism, I suspect and are led to beleive that curtailing their freedom to do this may be supported by some here.

Poems that critise our Governments are OK though.....
