: I felt this is an important issue someone could advise me on, and all of you could help me out with. Thank you.

: 'The Juicy Cerebellum' isn't allowed on its own, hometown server (every person subscribing to the IP is given a certain amount of FREE webspace), even using its OWN, individual domain name. This decision was made by a large group of teachers and businessmen WITHOUT the author's consent.

I'm truly outraged. I just yesterday came off a
fight over missing and deleted posts at bianca's Book of Poetry.
A small group of friends and fellow poets there faced what
turned out to be one 'troll' (the term given the caretakers by themselves.)
That was my first real experience with battling censorship. I must
say, our only weapons were words and a round robin of group emails.
Many regulars there did not want to get involved, the most common
reason 'I pick my battles.' Censorship is everybody's battle. It scares
me so many folks (especially poets!) take this for granted. If we
allow enfringements here and there, soon it will be everywhere and
everything we think, write and say could be in jeopardy. Alex, you
know I'm behind you. If there's anything I can do, just holler.
