One of the things about a free and open forum is that

sometimes an awful lot of distasteful things come out on it and things get pretty heated.

All sorts of things and ideas come through, some good and some not so good. The First Amendment can turn a lot of things into a real pressure cooker at times.

At times the ONLY thing worse than the First Amendment is not having one.

Then again, over time the truth generally rears its head with an open forum, as pretty or ugly as it may be. But it's still the truth and that is a beautiful thing because its the truth. 

A lot of thoughts, ideas and things get thrown around and censorship generally stifles things.

To those who censor, I ask this: Why are you afraid for the truth to shine through?
