What an odd statement, RB - it almost seems like you are trying to
shift the topic of discussion. That almost seems underhanded. But,
since you want to talk about censorship, could you tell me if you
thought it was fair that Bobby Gupta's posts were summarily banned
from SRH?
Recall that he even asked what parts of the posts were found
objectionable, and he wasn't told. Later on, he even stopped receiving
rejection notes on other posts he tried to submit. I pointed all of
this out earlier, and oddly enough, you didn't speak out against the
arbitrary ban on Mr. Gupta, did you?

Perhaps you might have missed some of the un-democratic things which
took place on SRH itself, like when the moderator imposed new rules
without consulting the readership. Of course, I even asked for
clarification on the new policies and I got no response. To this day,
the policy is in effect and it's never been clarified. This policy,
you might remember, was used to ban Mr. Gupta's postings based on the
claim that they were obscene. However, when I asked what was obscene
about them, I didn't receive an answer, and when Mr. Gupta asked, he
didn't receive an answer either.
Now tell me, RB, does this seem very democratic to you? Why did you
choose to try to attack Gopal for his comment when all of this was
going on right under your nose on SRH?
