Yes they do, but the person being criticised is also allowed to tell you to shut up if they think you're full of it. That's their "freeze peach" too. Also "censured" may not have the meaning you think it does. "Censored" isn't the word you want, either. You claim Theo is above criticism while complaining that you're being criticised. When it comes to "double standards", it seems the call's coming from inside the house. > I know, and there's nothing I can do about it.

Nobody's rights have been violated, there's nothing unfair here. You're entitled to your opinion, but we are also entitled to our opinion, which includes the opinion that your opinion is stupid. If you can't handle people disagreeing with you, maybe public discourse isn't for you. -- Aaron Mason - Programmer, open source addict I've taken my software vows - for beta or for worse
