I hope the fact that four different people in this thread see the same poster as a problem will influence moderators' views.

In the short time that I have been coming here I find that I disagree with almost everything kennyc says. I also don't think there is anything either he or I could say that would bring about any kind of rapprochement whereby we would speak with one voice on the issues upon which we disagree. Sometimes I don't like the way he says things. For all that I don't think kennyc should be censored - if I am right in thinking that what's the reference to influencing moderators' views amounts to. If kennyc, or anyone else, says something that I disagree with or object to I have a number of choices - I can respond, I can choose not to respond, I can choose not to read their contributions, I could even get a life and stop following the discussions and contributions that wind me up quite so closely.
This is a brilliant site - people come here for all sorts of different reasons - the vast majority I suspect couldn't care less what kennyc, or I, or any of the people who chip in their twopenn'orth, thinks about whether piracy is theft or property is theft or how many angels you can get dancing on the head of a pin. So long as people avoid being offensive and go for the point not the person we ought to be grown up enough to to have to tell our Dads on them.
