Please enlighten me because I thought suppress meant to curtail, to stop activities, to do away with, to subdue, to withhold from publication and so forth.

C is trying to apply social pressure to A with the goal of curtailing A's speech. That's oppression. Whether or not A is wrong for saying it is orthogonal to C being wrong for trying to suppress it. -- Rich P. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
