So, presumably you read absolutely no magazines, newspapers, or books,
since they all make editiorial choices (or "censorship" as you wrongly call
it). Censorship is when someone forces you not to say something in a place
where they have no right to do so. ExI owns this list and has the right to
exercise editorial judgment. I'm surprised that you have confused these two
utterly different things.

Since censorship is a violation of rights, are you now going to send to the
police over here to force us to let you say whatever you want on a list
that we own?

Puzzled,

Max
