Johnny, please forgive me if I am putting my own meaning into your words, but I interpreted your call for a moritorium in this way.

By suggesting a moritorium on a Forum that had gotten so mean spirited, I felt you were requesting a return to civility among the posters, not calling for a suppression of the 1st Amendment, for which you fought. And I agreed with you.

Sort of like when a parent tells its children to play nice or the toy will be taken away. I've done that myself and my objective was never to take away the toy, but to remind the kids that playing nice was important.

I think sometimes we adults can get carried away in our passions just like kids.

Anyway, knowing what a patriot Johnny is I can't imagine his intention was to suppress freedom of speech.

Just my opinion, which thank goodness I have the right to express.
