<br /><br />just keep well inside the tables and avoid microbubbles !an3drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15822554034818405099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6701454427705864554.post-77641064694917826812015-12-17T15:41:11.862-08:002015-12-17T15:41:11.862-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.PxZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18274894834393896182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6701454427705864554.post-44744038603190215322015-12-17T15:08:49.581-08:002015-12-17T15:08:49.581-08:00yes, i have been thinking about this, one of the r...yes, i have been thinking about this, one of the reasons i am sensitive on the topic is i am the most banned person on the internet, mostly any message board i get banned, even innocuous stuff, just my style of writing is enough to upset people !<br /><br />but is it censorship that is the problem or peoples natural aversion to the sort of mind stretching paradigm i am an embodiment of ?<br /><br />i do think censorship is an issue, the only post i have deleted so far was some nonsense link from sepehr which was typical i though of his "cut and paste" rather than any real contemplative work approach <br /><br />sepehr's link was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y2xAxT8XIA <br /><br />so now i guess technically, no post has been censored<br /><br />it does concern me and if i had endless time things could continue as before, as it is, the moderation system seems to work well technically and really i do not know what to do at this point . . <br /><br />an3drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15822554034818405099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6701454427705864554.post-73414728648747883442015-12-17T13:37:37.907-08:002015-12-17T13:37:37.907-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.PxZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18274894834393896182noreply@blogger.com
