I have just learned that AOL has banned my website, blog and The Pen and letters containing url's to these sites. My website and blog contain controversial political views but banning them on that basis is censorship. It is not as if people who object to the views on these sites are forced to read them against their will. On the other hand, the people who contacted AOL and brought about the ban with their objections are barring the sites to people who do want to read them. I have written to the Minnesota Civil Liberties Union inquiring about what legal options I have concerning this ban. Meanwhile I am asking people to write AOL at [EMAIL PROTECTED] to protest this ban. Robert Halfhill [EMAIL PROTECTED]
