About spinal »

Hobby-horse writer. Used to love NBA (when his Airness ruled the courts) now I just like it. Used to love the NHL (when the Habs won a Stanley at least once a decade) now I just like it. I don't even acknowledge the CFL, but I LOVE the American grid-iron, that is, good 'ol N-F-L. Best sports enterprise on the planet at the moment.

No problem. Jason didn't cuss though so you shouldn't censor him because of me.

Censorship and the battle against it, comes in many forms and guises and brings the worst out in people with an investment in the war for free speech.

I will gladly be thrown under the bus for defending your right to write.
