"Admit" is the wrong word. This is like saying "Jed Rothwell admits he speaks Japanese . . ." or "Jed Rothwell confesses that he likes cherry pie with vanilla ice cream." I do not admit that we censor; I state it, as a matter of policy. It would only be an admission if I thought there was anything wrong about it.
"Subject: Storms/Rothwell censorship 'This is known as science by politics -- it is disgusting. Storms doesn't have leg to stand on and he knows it." - - Gene'"
Storms and I disagree, obviously. It is our web site, not Gene's, so we get to decide. We do not consider this censorship. Gene often changed the articles I submitted to I.E. and he refused to print some of them, so if this *is* censorship, and if there is anything wrong with it, he was as guilty as I am. His accusation was both hypocritical and preposterous.
(Naturally, I did not mind at all when Gene rejected my submissions. That's what editors and librarians are supposed to do. That's their job.)
