67. Grow up
By your mile-wide definition, your own post would be pulled and
you would be banned because you "referenced" the forbidden "desire"
in your subject line.

To the board in general:
If you are incapable of allowing controversial views or (as in this
case) ones that can be snipped and wilfully misinterpreted, you might
as well close the entire site down and go back to typewritten handouts.

Can't you see that this knee-jerk reaction plays straight into the
hands of good old Mr.Rove? Not only are people advocating censorship
of a useful resource, the members of the government's opposition are
now fighting amongst themselves again (even more than usual).
The end result is that cohesion (and thus effectiveness) are lost ...
quite possibly taking the 2004 election with them if "successes" like
this fracas are allowed to continue.

"It's a land of free speech - let's keep it that way"
"We allow dissent - Bush doesn't"
"You're right, you'd never see a post like that on Free Republic:
non-conformist thoughts are censored"

These are the messages you should carry.

Come on people - you can do it!
