Your website doesn't have to contain offensive material to be banned. Angelfire, Geocities, and Tripod erased my site cause they deemed it offensive. I'm a drummer, and I had a lot of personal infos about my musical career there, as well as some transcriptions one could consider open source music, like the 26 Standard Rudiments, and so on. And, no porn, no call for terrorism, no bomb-making instructions anywhere, not even the slightest hint. To this day I still wonder what's offensive about a page dedicated to playing drums...
It's funny to see how anything that Katz writes, be it correct or not, just intices Slashdotters to call a new Katz Bashfest. Has any one of you ever considered the fact that Katz may be right? Why should it be up to Katz to show us both sides, when we get the conservative "ban everything" side shoved in our faces each and every day? If Katz did, all of you would be posting messages like "boring, we know that" or "Katz, wake up" etc. But, as he only portrayed the other side (i.e. the side most of us are on), you're all going at him almost accusing him of distorting the facts! Wake up people! Even if you don't like Katz, which is very clear, just listen to him once in a while, ok?
