At no time have I suggested or advocated censorship of these boards, and to introduce that idea in the current discussion only serves to inflame. Let's stick to the original issues of the thread: copyrighted material and volume of posts.

The only request made by me of other posters was to practice some self-restraint and good judgement about the amount and types of content placed here. No way, no how can that possibly be construed as a call for censorship to anyone who understands the definition of the word.

I will also not stand by silently as post after post is made that violates copyrights and the terms of service that each of us agreed to when we joined this community.

To borrow the Voltarian phraseology, I stand by my right to speak out on such matters, and of course, defend your right to disagree with me.
