Misuse of the word censorship. It's not censorship when a company doesn't want to buy your poorly written articles. Nor is it censorship when a company has guidelines about what type of content you can distribute through its mechanism. You may find the decision making process, taste, rules, guidelines or philosophy of the company disagreeable or abhorrent and they may even have a political or social agenda, but IT'S NOT CENSORSHIP!

Meanwhile, the "boy crisis" is bullshit.

Hallelujah and amen. The over- and mis-use of that word is a reflection of the entitlement culture. Generally the complaint includes the words "it's not faaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrr." One wishes for the perfection of the Satellite Controlled Global Clue Laser.

Hear hear! There's nothing like being told that you're a big mean censor just for saying, "That's not appropriate here." And yes, I'm with you for the Clue Laser.
