I wait with bated breath for JF's response to RR on DL.

Before that, an observation. Since RR is new here - there is a wealth of
material on DL including many posts by AW in the BeeL archives.

RR's statement "the freedom of the Internet has made it impossible to
block “DL” opponents,"  rests in the internet's ability to allow people
of like mindedness to talk to each other and agree, no matter what the
subject or the facts behind them. But a true open discussion forum, as
this one is, usually does not keep those who are on shaky ground, as has
been shown by the spinoffs from this list when some got upset defending
their hypothesis.

If " “DL” opponents have been too often simply denied access to print",
might that be because the validity of the argument is in question and
not any conspiracy to silence the opposition? (I have found that the
internet is also a hotbed for conspiracy buffs. Several websites are
dedicated to nothing but informing the public of the truth behind many
of the "conspiracies" and urban legends that freely circulate as fact.)
