Jedd,
I think I can recognize an attempt to suppress free speech and the free
exchange of ideas when I see it. If this topic does not interest you
don't participate. Just delete. I know that I can speak for the people
who have told me that they don't like being told what to think or say
nor do they like the idea of being censored. After all this venue is a
permaculture garden and as such should include all the players in the
natural world, that includes free speech. Just move on to the topics
that do interest you. End of story.
Ken

Just so. There was a state election here a few months ago and
at no point did I see any need to tell anyone else who to vote for,
or indeed to even mention it, despite some potentially humorous
anecdotes involving the gun club nutters sitting outside the polling
booth on the day, or droll historical references to country member
quotes.

Anyway, I think I can speak for what I like to think of as The Rest
Of The World, when I say that we're all pretty disappointed that
out of ~ 300 million people, the best you could come up with
was that. Or rather, them.

I mean .. really. Any subsequent discussions emanating from
your colony can't really be expected to be taken seriously by
the rest of us. So shoosh now.

Jedd.
