Re: Cross-Postings to Brad Framers

[Van Shackelford <vans@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There may be more like me who do _not_ post but watch, listen and learn,
for whatever reason(s). As long as you are here I will be w'ing and l'ing X
2. 

It is my hope others move to here for the reasons you have given for the
creation of this alias, to me, are valid. Freedom of speech (written or
otherwise) is critically important to the net as a whole and covers much
more than the US of A.

If we begin to censor each other and see no harm, we open the door to a
much greater threat than shutting off just _one_ differing opinion. We open
the door to legitimacy of shutting off minds and possibly free will. Pretty
soon we begin to plant timed mind-mines in the mental capacity of people
because of what they _say_ to us vs. what they _do_ (or might do) to us.
Scary. 

Stay the course.  

I've posted too much already.
