Why should I put forward my views Irene? For nigh on 15 years you've been twisting my words to suit your agenda, so why would I think you'd be the least bit interested in what I believe now?

And Irene, my website is nothing new. You are VERY slow. I've even mentioned it many moons ago on this list.

So your comments on my website are more attempts for you to think you know what I think. You aren't interested in what I think. You are only interested in twisting things to suit your agenda. I'd say there are a lot of things you can't understand, or rather don't want to understand, for fear of it not suiting you.

David

So? The only persons who have contended anything different to my knowledge 
are Conroy and other proponents of Labor's proposed so-called blocking 
system.

Well David, if you ever deigned to explain your views, it might, just 
might, help the debate.

There's an umm 'interesting' site here:
http://www.technewsreview.com.au/

that I came across recently. The provider of that site has some 
'interesting' views.

Click on the left hand column link to "Censorship" articles and one finds:
- Australian man charged over viral baby-swinging video 
- British ISPs censor Wikipedia over 'child porn

but next to nothing about Labor's ISP 'blocking plan' (well, one article 
about GetUp's campaign).

Oh, but wait, 
Click on the link in the left hand column link "Child Protection" and hey 
presto, heaps of links to articles about Labor's ISP 'blocking plan'.

Unfortunately I cannot understand the logic behind what is deemed 
"censorship" and what is deemed "child protection" and I suspect there is 
none. 

Irene
