Witness the NEW lunatic fringe of ars. Inhale, exhale and relax Woody, you're gonna pop a blood vessel in that head of yours. Now, follow the logic here. If I choose NOT to watch the Cosby show, that does NOT make me a censor of the Cosby show. I just do not care to watch it, instead I watch "Hubbard and his therories" (an example). So, using your logic, I should do both. But I can't, so I choose Hubbie.

Now lets apply this to the net, 1000 new message a DAY at my site, and 35,000 newsgroups. Which means alot of things to read, if I chouls follow your logic. By not reading all the posts in all the newsgroups I can harrasing, and censoring. Now by extending your logic even further, YOU are harrasing and censoring me by not replying to by posts forthwith.

Of course this logic is absurd, from the pratical pointof view, because no one could read it all, nor would they want to. Afterall, I assume that you would not care to read the posts in a group like alt.barney.die.die.die, perhaps you might, but I have faith that you do not find pleasure in that arena. Once again, your logic is fraught with rhetoric, and fallacies. Your notion is deviod of reason Woody, kill filing is a logic response to communication that is perceieved as worthless, time wasting bandwidth to that person. By not reading a post you are harming little besides yourself, if EVEN that.

So its back to the drawing board for you I'm afraid Woody.
