Really? Perhaps if I had placed it further up in my post….

Could you please explain what it refers to?

It doesn’t refer to anything. It was simply any attempt to preclude what I felt could be a distracting foray away from the topic at hand.

I haven't posted in any other thread than the football thread the last 2 weeks or so, but I just read up a bit and I found nothing at all about censorship except a note from T' in the Reagan is dead-thread that "If it's that big of an issue or you feel that censored then feel free to contact Buck about it" and my reply that "it is not an issue of feeling personally censored"

I’m sorry. Do you often feel that comments made to the community at large refer specifically to you?

but please note that nowhere have I found any post who has referred to censorship or free speach in relationship to somebody critising that the Reagan-admirers personal feelings should have priority over for instance the Contra's victims personal feelings.

I have not read the totality of the Regan thread and my comments on censorship were not referring to that thread, as I referenced above.

If you have found any such referrals, please cite it, because I am under the impression that this censorship-issue has grown into a strawman argument.

Yes, I can see that you are quite upset about this issue but I assure you that the focus of the comments in my original post were not specifically centered on you.

You and DW have mentioned some things you view negatively in discussions here at SYM, and I will also mention something I view as the single most negative feature in any discussion, and that is not being able to discuss a topic with arguments about the topic, but instead using fallacies such as strawmen (ie claiming the opponent said something he didn't and critisise this as if the opponent said so) and ad hominems (personal attacks such as name calling and personal accusations).

Are you implying that DW and I colluded to create this thread in order to somehow persecute you? If so, let me again assure you that this was certainly not the case. As to strawmen and personal attacks, I believe that all of my posts in this thread have been respectful and on-topic. If you feel otherwise, please let me know so that I can address this publicly.
