Replying to the first message in this thread but the entire thread disappoints me.
We share different viewpoints on a lot things. Since when did we ever even think for a moment that censoring or controlling the free flow of information was acceptable? Some of you even admitted that you didn’t listen to the damn thing!!! Yet you want to pull it down without hearing it?!?! Is this April fools day? I am ashamed. I thought we were hackers. Since when did hackers become afraid of information? I am disgusted that this conversation took more than 30 seconds. Put up episodes with opposing viewpoints and information. Keep to the facts and opinions of the data as you see it. Don’t make it personal.
