"Calum has an ilk?" - sorry, I meant rather that his appearance flagged the possibility of more 'Calum's' materialising.

If anything, it's interesting to see how subjective censorship can be and how human those who do the censoring can be.
I mean, those who make the calls for censoring more, uh, widespread things, are often not much different from those who have to make those decisions here. Probably better paid though.

What this ongoing ILX growth and debate shows is that censorship is rarely as mechanical as people think of it. I'm not saying I'm pro-censorship, but I am pro-understanding, and I'm glad that the process here is fairly transparent and that people feel comfortable enough to question things and that those who get questioned feel comfortable enough to make sincere efforts to answer for themselves.
