I cannot believe that Charles would be censored when I don't recall him going off topic while another person can get away with bashing America and rant on about topics that are not Orkney-related. ________________________________ From: Tuck <tuck12@comcast.net> To: charles.tait@zetnet.co.uk; orcadia@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, June 20, 2010 12:42:21 AM Subject: Re: [ORCADIA] beer All, I am utterly opposed to censorship of any kind, either by a moderator  or by a government, or by the church. I hate to think that someone  sits in judgement over our remarks here and lets some through and  throws others away. We have seen that in Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy,  Soviet Russia and many other places. Orkney, I thought, would be the  last place we would find such a practice. Say it isn't so. If it is,  you'll certainly have one less person to censor. The ultimate censorship tool is the delete key. Free speech for all!!!
