I have no power of \"censorship,\" but if expressing the point of view that contradicts the noise banding obsession eventually reduces the number of posts on the subject I will be pleased. Not that I\'m optimistic... ;-)
\"Censorship\" means eliminating opinions that are disagreeable to whomever controls the media, and in some cases punishing those who post the \"disagreeable\" opinions. Posting something that alundeb doesn\'t agree with does not constitute \"censorship.\" It is called \"discussion,\" the very thing that these forums are supposed to be about.
Each of the three folks who agreed with the censorship comment, including you, have posted far more on this \"noise banding\" topic than I have. I\'ve generally tried to restrict myself to less than a post a day on the subject and at times didn\'t respond for many days at a timet.
It is curious that rather than responding to the substance of my \"What would Ansel do?\" post, you chose the personal attack alternative - again! - and accuse me of \"censorship.\" I have no illusions that I\'ll change your mind about this issue nor about me, but I have observed that personal attack often substitutes for reasoned discussion when one doesn\'t have a reasoned argument to present.
