Post something like it again and you will be banned from Mobileread.

Seeing as it's that offensive a topic on the forum that one gets one warning before a ban, I have to agree with a previous poster that it's an odd choice for a moderator to start a topic like this. Why not just avoid the topic altogether?
Oh, sure, we can discuss freely
about privacy. But only if we're neutral or negative, since any positive comment would surely be construed as advocacy? That doesn't seem like a fair exchange of ideas to me. Nor do I see myself as advocating or damning piracy by stating what
my moral obligation is. I don't necessarily share moral values with others or require of them to share mine or act according to them.
But I'm sure that's not an interesting distinction to you, so I shan't bore you further. I'll leave this piracy conversation to those interested in the pure abstract or condemnation aspect of it.
Feel free to ban me to all seven hells if this post can also be construed as "commenting on moderating policy" or any some such. You obviously are not very keen on giving the benefit of the doubt either, if you are that trigger happy.
