Piers.
I will extend you the courtesy so far you haven't shown back to the oddballs, though I will hold back on the insults and demeaning responses, Ill be proactive and straight to the point.
The thread can be closed that is indeed fine by me.
But you cannot start a debate that proposes censorship (that's word filters are) and seemingly take it so lightly as a possible solution to anything. Even if you were later told straight off that this is out of the question.
Clearly you wanted to say whatever and you have said it. Clearly you dont want to take part in the discussion/debate because well the solution is not to make a big deal out of it.
I went to extremes once or twice to see if the ramifications of what was being suggests here was more or less ridiculous or if people realized it, and if the did they so voiced said opinions.
I consider you a valid member of the community,sooner when come across each other in threads, while attempting to provide support here for various people.
My suggestion a serious suggestion is that you please consider what has been said here and try to educate other users you come across that blatantly in that situation knowingly or maybe just maybe they are in it unknowingly.. Educate them to who and why what they are doing is incorrect ad show them better way, or consider ignoring it, because team xbmc does indeed take these thing seriously enough and Im sure they rather us help than causing some bigger issue by not knowing how to help.

There were lots of lists not long ago.... In Countries not far away in a time closer than memory does not forget.
Godwin's Law, already?
That was a example of something extreme to see if it provoke some though on how bad censorship was,
Had nothing to do with it was implied but everything to do with Big china firewalls, and many others who still suffer lack of freedom of speech.
and on a non glihl note, Hungary was under Communist regime until 1989 they also made lists, and for a few more years life wasnt as simple as it is here in UK.
So none of that was for the way generations before but to a recent valid one and still currently existing, this is wy any lsist scare me seriously to death.
Please moderators close this thread.
And Piers, be well see you around and dont sweat it, it was a worthwhile having debate.
