In response to The Measure of Violence posted by pink101:
Its not about censorship--at least not as I see it. Its about taking responsibility for one's words and behavior. And, it also means being responsible and respectful for the ideas one wants to present.
.
If someone presents himself an obnoxious jerk, he is diminishing himself and his ideas.

No man is an island, right? We are all connected. What harms one person harms all people. We bear responsibility for the harm we do. So why champion the right to harm others and diminish oneself? I just don't get that.

peace and love,
Paper Turtle
