I KNOW Declan, and I agree :-)
I'm just not real good at making myself clear I guess.Then again I call a spade a spade when it needs to be called a spade, and when calling it anything else, in case of hurting any group or individual's sensitivies, would do a real lot more hurt and damage to many more groups and individuals sensitivites (and likely more than just their sensitivities); as well as not presenting the truth and trying to halt the damage, let alone partly reverse it:-)
Hence I disagree strongly (as stated a couple of times before in Admin) with any set-up (the board and the censorship) that does this. It's the continual lack of voice and purpose that fosters the beginnings of terrorism... and I think you garee there are some things that , if you do state them, would be "hurting some indefinable group's sensitivities".. but It's fine to say precisely the same about some other group, ya know? I do realise the large persentage of audience is considered more important, but maybe they should be listening more, maybe if they discussed the issues instead of censoring them , then there would be some point?
