I happen to enjoy Vigilans' laconic but humorous and insightful commentary.

You're just trying to flatter me/us.

But, you are correct: Vigilans has contributed absolutely nothing to the present thread. He has been neither laconic, nor humourous, nor insightful.

Only if I'm insulted. If I had been told that I had the wit and maturity of a 53-year-old (my actual age): now that would be an insult! I would be tattling to the moderators faster than you can say anything that your right to free speech might tempt you to say.

It's kind of sad watching a 53 year old behave this way. :|

I'm still not insulted. You guys are just not trying hard enough.

Most 53 year olds are very dull, burned out old farts. Tell any of them that they possess the wit and maturity of a 14 year old, and their faces will light up at the recognition (even if false) of having a spark of youthful vigor left in them.

ArrantPariah, how much more evidence do you intend providing to demonstrate that your reincarnation from pandabear was an error?

I am of the opinion that censorship should be used only in matters of state security. It isn't the states business to tell me what I can or can't read, see, hear, or say for entertainment or education.

The only possible exception I could see making for that, is banning hate speech in public places (public libraries, sidewalks/streets, etc).
