I am constantly amazed at how people make so much of undramatic 
statements.  I made a straight one line observation that did not 
contain a single adjective and that is called dramatic.

  Jeremy has been censoring people's posts and I am not just talking 
about mine.  And he has said he is proud to be a censor.  More than 
one person on this list has told me personally that they probably 
won't be hanging around if that is the policy and I am not too sure I 
will either.  What exactly am I twisting or exaggerating.  As far as 
I know I am simply stating the facts in front of me.

It strikes me that we are entering the golden age of denial.
