Making Sense Of Censorship

Regular visitors to Tim Blair's site will know that Nicky and I have been been somewhat bemused by the antics at left-leaning blog Margo Kingston's Web Diary.

We have always been advocates of healthy debate. Indeed it is the cornerstone of every democracy, yet the Web Diarists' desire to build a "professional on-line publication in the developing world of the new media" involves censoring each and every post. It is an issue we raised last weekend.

While the 'argy-bargy' between Margolians and Blairistans continues to provide some marvellous sport, it is timely to remind ourselves to seek out the quiet voice that cuts through the clutter to beautifully articulate a timeless truth.

This time you'll find it at Nilknarf's place.
