"Would you accept that many posters have made the view clear that they are not in favour of any form of imposed censorship on our forum?"

NO!

What I have gleaned from the same posts you have also read is that most posters are completely satisfied with current policy, and do not express a wish for either less or more.

Would you (finally) accept that we hold diametrically opposed views that are very unlikely to change, and agree that it is time to put this matter to rest?

Would you further accept that Max owns this forum, and will continue (as is his right) to run it as he sees fit?
