Much of the canceling was done by the AUKins and other groups who
wanted to try and delete my net history. They would leave in only the
parts they wanted. Although I think some of those may have been the
cause of someone in the Lego community who decided to take it upon
themselves to act as rouge canceller.

I'm not removing that graphic, in fact I have the support of numerous
people who back me up on it (although that's about the only thing they
back me up on). I am planning on revising some of the text but the
Inet does not completely dominate my life and I'm trying to finish
other projects too. But again that webpage is my home, if you don't
like what's in my home don't come knocking on my door to come in. I
let anyone come into my home, granted I could put up a password and
only let certain people in but I like to let anyone have a chance to
come into my home and share with what I believe. If you don't share
in what I believe why do you come to my home?

Just want to quickly address this one point. A website is not private. It is
not a home. I do not need an invitation to come in, I can get there through
any one of a number of valid & common methods of using the internet. No one
has to knock on your door to come in. If you put your beliefs up to public
scrutiny(1), then you have to expect them to be scrutinized.
1: Having a publicly available website, and then bringing attention to it by
posting a link on a publicly accessable website (with, I might add, no
disclaimer or suggestion that people should share what you believe before
coming in) certainly counts. If that's insufficient, how about this:
