I suspect that if we were sitting in Joe's shoes(unless they are very large, they wouldn't be comfortable to sit in) we'd see things very differently. We only see what we are allowed to see. And I applaud Joe and his fellow compatriots for weeding out most of the garbage before we ever see it.

As we are are only allowed (by our fellow poster Joe Offer ) to see what we are allowed to see - the idea that what we are not allowed to see must be truly terrible - is something that we will just have to take on trust......

Perhaps the bogey man we are being protected from by this imposed if selective censorhip is not so bad at all? I suspect that some of us would still be making needless public judgements by applauding this selfless sacrifice by Joe and his anonymous fellow posters for interfering with matters that are none of their concern.

The idea that our forum's problem are only the various and ever changing personal targets of Joe, his adoring fan club and anonymous fellow posters and their imposed judgement - is simplistic and dangerous to anyone who values the essential freedom of expression on which this public discussion forum was set up for by Max on his website.
