Subject: RE: BS: Proposal for members only posting of BS?
No, but there is such a thing as being a little-bit misguided.

Say I were to post "Fascism is preferable to democracy. The electorate is so underinformed and misinformed they can't possibly make intelligent decisions about vital public matters. Jane and Joe Averagedemocraticcitizen absolutely need Big Brother to direct their every thought and action." Say Joe were to remove it. That would be censorship. And I would be PMing him immediately!

But if I were to post "Shambles, you and every other democracy-lover are nothing but imbecilic, disgusting, braindead vile mother -@@!!!##@@!!!! You NEED Big Brother to lead you about by the nose, same as every other democratic jack-ass. Furthermore, your music sounds like ##@@!!!!!, your repulsive drooling wife is a low-down 2-bit @@!!***! and your feet smell like ##@@!!!" and Joe were to delete it, well I'd call that 'responsible editing'.

And when I sobered up, I'd PM him to thank him.
