    Well, had a short chat with Joe about this on FurryFuzz. (BTW, for
those of you who play the MU*s, I'm Vulpis Foxfire on FurryMUCK,
Tapestries, FurryFuzz, and few LP-style MUDS. The Vulpis on SPR, however,
is *not* me.) He misunderstood my intent in that post, which was *not*
censorship. It was more a matter of appropriateness of what was put in
the story, compounded by the fact that as far as I can tell from the
story, David has little or no knowledge about the Blue Ribbon Campaign. I
quite agree that David has the freedom to write whatever he wants to. But
on the other hand, I'd appreciate some sort of warning when he plans to
go into soapbox mode--something akin to the *flame on* lines some people
insert into their postings. ;-)
    Hmph. I *really* need to get my Amiga sorted out the way I want it,
so I can sit down and write some my own fanfic...though a Meeting of the
Foxfires seems appropriate--Cyber-redneck meets the Fiery Fox. Yeef. ;-)
