Wrong Ben ,looks like Ken is more than willing to stoop!

Ken, 
1) Maybe, then again, maybe not.
2)  Yeah, so?
3) So it ain't specific. so what?  Censorship and related
topics affect all sorts of media, and apparently there is some
interest by gaffa-ites as well as others.
4)  Why don't you get a real life and learn how to delete or
skip over what bores you or is beyond your comprehension?
There were also those of us who found the discussion quite
interesting.  ALMOST as interesting as how to pronounce Jane
Siberry's name!  

Nothing wrong with that, I'm just saying that until there's
more solid Kate happenings, various thing s are being
discussed, light and serious, and there's nothing wrong with
that.

Trust me, I or Ben or ANYBODY can type any damn thing they
please without ANY fear of a Louisville Slugger emblem on
their heads or nary a scratch from your razor sharp (not) wit
;-)

Could you take your oppressive pompous ass attitude into
consideration as well?  Probably not...

I'll alert the media.

Just remember You don't tell others what they can and can't do,
and we'll all (except maybe you, Ken) be happy.

For the record, I think it's been very interesting to see what
folks think about labelling and censorship, etc.  Ken, if it's
too complex for you, maybe you should try bugging off and
leaving the discussion to others, while happily using your
delete button. 

Ben, I say, go on with your bad self, honey!  Write on this as
long as the spirit moves you.  If the discussion stays alive,
it's apparently cause it's a subject people are interested in.
If not, it will die out.  Either way, it _will_ eventually die
out anyways.  So, Ken, darling, take my advice..pull down your
pants and sliiiiide on the ice! (Courtesy of a M*A*S*H
