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?
