Censorship?!
Wed, 5 Sept 2001, 02:11 amPersonally I am 110% against censorship. If people don't want to see nudity, hear swearing etc then they should just not attend the shows/watch the tv programs/buy the music that contains the stuff they don't want to see/hear. Classifications are fine but why should we be forced to accept the censorship that is forced into our faces[rhetorical question]? Society should grow up and stop sheltering everybody. any comments?...
PS. Dont' think I'm an arse for saying these things if you are for censorship, just tell me your opinions please.

Making it personal
Sat, 8 Sept 2001, 01:26 pmDavid, I don't really think it's necessary to get into personal attacks over this. Comments like "ROTFLMAO!!!!!! You are so FULL OF IT!" are rather childish and patronising, and if you are actually at all interested in bringing Leah around to your point of view instead of insulting her, you might want to avoid that sort of behaviour in the future. I admit, I'm on your side as far as the issue goes, but I feel that you've done a lot of damage to your credibility by acting like a pre-pubescent IRC junkie with an inferiority complex. I realise that this isn't what you are like in the real world, and I've read many well-thought out posts of yours. This wasn't one of them.
I must admit that it ruffled MY feathers when Leah decided to saboutage my attempt at an objective arguement by labeling me as a "white" (whereas many people can testify that I'm much better described as "pasty"), "male", "able bodied" (if spectacularly unimpressive), "middle class" "( and a little bit cute)" (in a blatant attempt to flatter me into submission) "human being" (to which the jury is still out on, apparently). The difference being that she made a personal judgement on me, assuming that I was unable to see beyong my circumstances, which may even be the case, but it was all part of her arguement. We all KNOW that you think Leah is being a silly, that's why you're arguing with her. You don't have to stand on the highest hill with hands on hips and bellow "Leah is a big smelly feminist!" to get the point across.
