    Re: Should AFOL websites keep to themselves? —Kelly McKiernan
   (...) I find it amusing, in a sad sort of way, that cries of censorship continue to crop up on Lugnet, which is one of the most unmoderated and self-policing communities on the web (at least that I've frequented).

        Re: Should AFOL websites keep to themselves? —Timothy Gould
   (...) As I'm sure you remember the internet used to be a great bastion of free speech and self-policing. In some ways that attitude has lived on in Lugnet and I'm glad it has.

        Re: Should AFOL websites keep to themselves? —David Eaton
   (...) Yeah, that's why I retroactively added the word "perceived" :) (...) Um, I still have to disagree (unless you're saying that this IS an issue for YOU). At least from my standpoint.
