> But either way, aren't you rejecting a certain type of speech? Aren't > you still saying, This type of speech is censorious, therefore wrong? No - going back to my stop sign analogy, I'm simply talking about a process of comprehension: 1) That looks like a stop sign, so I'll stop 2) Wait a minute, it actually says go, so I'll go. / 1) Uh oh ... someone's trying to censor me 2) Wait a minute, it's just someone poking fun. No offense taken. Funny how much talk this has all generated when the original Ramblings of Randroids post was (ostensibly, I hasten to add (: ) about making everyone shut up about it (: Camille verona_beach@geocities.com @ THE ARTS HOLE www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Theater/6442 @ THE INVERTED FOREST www.angelfire.com/pa/invertedforest
