I was going to make this a BS post, but then I decided that it is more than mere BS.

As you may have noticed there is a fierce debate on censorship going on below the line. Insults are flying and italics are being deployed. However, there is something for the neophyte to keep in mind about thread such as this. That something is this:

I have a friend who plays poker and likes to visit the blackjack sites. (The name Stanford Wong comes to mind.) Sometimes a thread will start on one of those sites. A person - let's call him A - posts something. B and C respond. Then X comes along and insults A, B or C. Z comes along and supports X. Flames flicker, innocent bystanders get upset. yada yada yada

Suddenly a message from management appears, something to the effect of "We have determined that messages in this thread from A,B,X and Z are all coming from the same computer. This thread is out of here."

See what happened? Some troublemaker who enjoys upsetting other people has posted phoney attacks on himself. Strange,eh what?

Keep this in mind as you surf the net.
