garcon: Your opinion relies on the same belief that I suspect drove WREX to make the rule in the first place, that self-censoring is a deliberate attempt to circumvent auto-censoring. If you've spent much time on usenet newsgroups you will be aware that a very reasonable percentage of people self-censor to maintain the tone of the particular newsgroup or for personal reasons. There of course being no autocensor available...
Many of these people were part of the vanguard in the take up of internet discussion forums, without their input and participation forums like this one would not exist today and yet the current (clearly illogical) position of this forum's administrators would seek to ban them... What ever happened to good old common sense?
