Before you get too upset, check out what criteria their software uses to block web sites. Most content blockers censor Sussex county because it contains "sex". It may be some random phrases on the page which is triggering the software, and not an intentional decision at all.
If the discussion archives are visible from the Extropy web page, it would get blocked because of all the talk about homosexuals, animal torture, abortion discussions, smart "drugs" references, and all the gun/crime discussions that keep referencing murder and rape. It may not be any statement from ExI at all that is triggering the censorship.
