Folk have and do use this forum not only to 'goof-off' but to discuss many serious issues and to comment on injustice and lack of freedom in many parts of the world. Many of us take the freedom we have to do this very seriously indeed and have been very grateful to Max for providing the opportunity to have these exchanges on this forum and with folk from many parts of the world. One can hardly post to critise censorship and limitation of freedom of expression in the world and be subject to needless censorship and limitation of freedom of expression on this forum.

Threats to our freedom of expression should be viewed just as seriously on this forum as it should everywhere else. Those that have never lost this freedom can be more than a little careless with what they may find is a truly priceless comodity. Any attempt by anyone to limit this comodity in anyway anywhere (even here) - should be treated as if it is a matter of life or death. As a little fight now may actually prevent it eventually becoming a matter of life or death....Too serious no - it can never be that. Taking threats to our freedom of expression too lightly - is the real danger.
