More on Seismic Shock and Police Intimidation
As a blogger, censoring generally worries me. You can read my first post here. Roger Pearse (who by the way, is the keenest blogger on Patristics) has posted a reply from one of those who is accused of using the police to intimidate a blogger. Further, Roger has a few more updates, one form Seismic Shock and a final one from Anthony McRoy. Decide for yourselves.
And you might want to check out Stuart’s blog as well and some religious notes on the matter.

Thank you for the link. I think “let everyone make up their own mind” is good advice here, and I endorse it.
There’s too much shouting going on for me to be quite sure of what the real story is. I should add that I initially took the same view as you, and posted very strongly on it — that none of us want the police censoring bloggers, whatever they say. After all, given that people ARE being locked up in the UK for their views — two men were sent down today — who knows when it may be our turn?

That’s the great thing about censoring opinion — it’s a moveable target. What was OK to say today is not OK tomorrow. Oh for better, more tolerant times.

Polycarp, for a fraction of a second I thought that you were being intimidated by an Anglican Priest …
