Censorship: The last desperate resort of cowards.

What do you believe?

Why do you believe this?

If you know the answer to these two questions, you should be able to defend your belief system through logical, rational discussion.  Most of those on the Left, however, couldn't answer these questions to save their lives.  They've simply been told what to think.  They're brainwashed and they don't even know it, the poor fools.

(Don't get me wrong--this happens on the Right as well, which leads to book-burnings, the Inquisition and Fred Phelps.  But it's become far more prevalent on the other side.)

So, when you can't defend your position, you attempt to silence your opponents.  Otherwise, you'd have to face the possibility that almost everything you know is wrong, that your entire worldview is based on lies and misinformation.  Far easier to simply make sure that the opposing view simply disappears.

The Treehouse is under attack.

Quick summary…

• Network connections and files of moderators have been hacked into today, including Twitter accounts, laptops, etc.

• Sequential virus attacks have hindered communication from moderators to the extent of having problems posting comments and replying to e-mails.

• The enemy is apparently swarming. We appreciate the affirmation.

You can try to silence us.  It's possible, though doubtful, that you will succeed.  But if you do, know this:  By abandoning reason in favor of blatant censorship, you have proven yourself a coward and a fraud, and shown every rational being that your entire existence is based upon intellectual and moral psychosis. 

And, somewhere in the back of your mind, you know it.
