I personally work for a large corporation in which most people are forbidden from speaking with the press. Virtually all companies work with this type of "censorship"... and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. Ever try yelling "fire" in a crowded movie theatre? My guess is that you'd be censored there as well. There are almost unlimited scenarios where this type of suppression is valuable and necessary.
If Greg wants certain words banned from his board, that's his prerogative. If he wants certain people banned from his board, that's also his right. If he doesn't like cleaning chips, it is perfectly within his rights to remove any and all posts by those who are pro-cleaning. And if he doesn't like people who post without their last names, or without valid e-mail addresses, or with fake names, it is 100% up to him to have their posts removed. Period.
This may be "censorship" to you, but the fact is that there is exactly ONE person on this board who has any RIGHTS whatsoever, and his name is Greg. Those who don't realize that should just move along... there's nothing to see here.
