As an adult, I have no desire nor need for anyone to choose what I may discuss or not discuss. Censorship, in almost all it's forms, is a very ugly concept and there are already topics which are not allowed on these forums. Those who advocate censorship in one area, by default, must allow censorship in other areas as well. Quite the slippery slope. Where does it end? With the banning of books? If Person A wants political discussions banned, Person B has just as much right to demand that discussions on television shows be banned. Person C can then demand that no one ever mention death, marriage, divorce, birthdays, anniversary's etc. Methinks it's better to keep Pandoras box well closed and skip over or block those posts which cause someone distress, whether they be politics, religion or something else. If a simple message forum can get someone up in arms, I suggest a bubble bath and a glass of champagne to soothe the nerves. In other words, take time off the Internet if you can't handle the cyber heat of discussion. Celeste
