none so blind...

1. i am NOT complaining simply because MY stupid comments are CENSORED; i am talking about the ISSUE OF CENSORSHIP itself, you fucking nitwits... i am complaining that ANYONE IS CENSORED ANYWHERE at ANYTIME for ANY REASON...

(you see, chomsky and i, we ACTUALLY believe in the precious right of true free speech; YOU defenders of CENSORSHIP prove that you only believe in 'appropriate' free speech of YOUR CHOOSING...)

do you HAVE to be purposefully recondite about this to keep from discussing the beams in your own eyes...

2. DO YOU OR DO YOU NOT AGREE THAT CENSORSHIP IS ANATHEMA TO A -supposed- FREE SOCIETY and the disucssion of issues ?

DO YOU OR DO YOU NOT AGREE that REAL free speech is an ABSOLUTE PREREQUISITE for a so-called participatory small-dee democracy to ACTUALLY WORK ? ? ?

3. DOES OR DOES NOT SALON CENSOR ? (call it 'moderation' or WHATEVER babycrap euphemism you want to use), IS IT or IS IT NOT CENSORSHIP ? ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION...

and NO, saying this is a privately-owned site and they can do anything they want, IS NOT AN ANSWER or valid reason; it is a CAPITULATION to korporate kontrol of the public commons...

THAT actually highlights one of the major problems we have with actual, real free speech in thisy here pwetend democracy: the increasing privitization and korporate kontrol of nearly ALL quasi-public venues, such that THERE IS NO PLACE LEFT FOR FREE SPEECH IN THIS COUNTRY, except a fee chainlink pens and your basement...

4. how precious, glenn... DOES SALON CENSOR OR NOT ?

defend that AS A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE, dickhead...

YOU/SALON DO/DID/WILL CENSOR, WHY ? ? ?

isn't that in OPPOSITION TO EVERY constitutional and human principle you espouse here ? ? ?

oh, TWO R's in guerrilla, by the by...

(with any luck, the word will have more currency in the coming years...)

oh, and 'bandolier' is how i've seen it spelled a million times over the other variation...

so, go on and get out more snark while you avoid the BEDROCK ISSUE of free speech, and how BOTH WINGS of the blogosphere are practioners (it is the left that is hypocritical about it, though)...

and to jerkoff-in-a-well, your reading comprehension is not very good: i explained what the issue was clearly, CENSORSHIP; you REFUSED to see it; i explained why it is important, YOU don't think it is; and the 'charge' i was responding to, was YOUR MORONIC 'you must be a paid reichwing troll' bullshit...

again, address the ISSUE (CENSORSHIP), or shut the fuck up...
