SA: This is why I said "I don't care about this censorship". I'm using slang
that means "whatever" or "it doesn't bother me" or "it's up to you" or "your
free to do what you want but leave me out". I wanted this "censorship" stuff
to stop right there and go no further, for how can one say another is
censoring? I mean in this context. A forum where we type from vast distances
into a public place that hasn't kicked anybody out, that I know of, since I've
been here. And this topic would be way off on any quick removal. It wouldn't
happen. We understand it's a thought-experiment. Thoughts lead to practice,
and that's what I was concerned about, thus all the questions (whom?, stem
cells?, etc...). In this forum context, how is there censoring? We've each
had our input without slapping on patterns onto each other positions in order
to bury them and forget what we are talking about. We each are bringing up
concerns, questions, and our points of
view. The censorship bit easy is a question, in this context, of 'who's
censoring who'. If somebody disagrees with somebody else, then simply the two
disagree on something the two perceive about each others position. Thus we can
easily say that they are censoring each other, in this forum context, which is
a weak type of censorship if you ask me. That's why I found the censorship
bit, well, a bit hollow.
Maybe this is why nobody really picked this issue up and ran with it. It
seemed to be a go nowhere real fast 'thing.
