I think what "nash" is trying to say is perhaps there's a time to move on to new issues. I don't believe he's quoting what you said but rather some of the dialog others have published, who would prefer an open Channel 1 and 2. It does look rather odd when you see the argument from that context.
Most of the time, I admire the way you always play devil's advocate to any issue or post, generally forcing everyone to look at the other side of the coin. Perhaps that's a bi-product of being a good Research Technician on "civvy" street, but I do think sometimes it gets too extreme after the point has been made.
This issue isn't about free speech or no taxation without representation and so on. Some posts have tried to trivialize the issue as nonsense using eloquent responses, but this simply deflects from the real point, which is the corporation and the lion's share of its users prefer a public communication using less vulgarity. So, anyone who doesn't wish to participate under the rules of the owner's house are free to leave, as apparently "joemud" decided to do. If the number of players who quit become unacceptable, or the corporate and community standards shift to the left, then I'm sure we'll see HTC implement a new filter that injects colorful language into the public buffers instead of censoring it.
I do appreciate your point and input.
