sophiaserpentiaHmm, somehow a few people took my reposting of Moby's blog entry about misogyny in music to mean i support censorship.
When did i ever promote censorship? I don't support it, and neither, apparently, does Moby.
How is it that people hear someone saying, "People should own up to the ramifications of their words," and translate this into calling for censorship?
A few months ago i wrote about a phenomenon i've noticed, in that people speaking outside of the established viewpoint of public discourse are automatically presumed to have an agenda. This is one of the many hidden ways in which language is used against egalitarian radicals -- you are programmed to make all kinds of assumptions when you hear certain things that sometimes have nothing to do with what is actually being said.
