Assuming that you are referring to the General who started out life in the book as a Japanese prisoner digging a place to toss a planetary mass of gold, his name is Wing, and he is quite definitely Chinese.
One of the beauties of our community is that, should the community decide there is a need, or gap or niche to be filled, we have the ability to step forward, with access to the tools of creation, and fill it.
If it becomes apparent that SlashDot is no longer the voice of the community, no longer an objective resource, but the voice of a single corporation, we have access to the source, and the option and ability to create a new forum.
Until that time, I for one plan to withhold judgement and keep on/.ing.
And bearing the above in mind, and assuming VA is doing the same, I don't expect to see much in the way of censorship.
Just because a thing has been done is no reason to infer it will be done. Assuming that VA will apply the same controls others have done just because they are for profit isn't fair. Wait until the evidence is in.
And once it is in, and if it does go the way of corporate PR, scream, complain, or better yet, create an alternative. If the alternative meets the needs of the community, and/. no longer does, we'll be there.
Um, so, we should start with the various A&M schools? You might have something there, particularly where it comes to the sheep.
Definitely an easier job than agitating the citizenry. And a good source of folks familiar with shepherding.
