As to the ‘Daily Mail’ banning you, I’m in favor of censorship only when it involves an overt call to violence. You didn’t do that. So I’m on your side there.I appreciate your comment. The overall "...poor Ann Heche, boo hoo..." stuff got to me. One tries to do what is right and is eviscerated socially for it and then someone does the foolish things she did and huge numbers of people feel sorry for her. Something is not right there. No apologies.

I’d have probably commented the same, but I’m perplexed as to why you’re shocked at their response.I am not shocked, just responded here where someone on the staff there will read it. Cowards. Come and talk to me face to face and tell me you don't like it. I need to have an opportunity to respond to the criticism. No apologies.

We all have our demons. Making proper choices is how they are defeated.

Much of leftist policy is trying to insulate people from the consequences of their own actions. Crucially, they also punish excellence! Little wonder then, everything is collapsing before our very eyes, after a couple few generations of unwitting social Guinea pigs are put through this psychotic wringer.VERY eloquently written. Spot on. Saw this in its totality when I taught in the public schools. They are wrecking society and flaming everyone trying to stop it. Come get some.

Very good quote. Like that, and, it is also true. I will take that to heart.

The real censorship to me is when an entity holds itself out as a media platform for all comers and you say something that is offensive and many would consider insensitive and the platform deletes it and bans you. Newspapers are not platforms
for all comers. They have limited space and I would expect that they would exercise their discretion in what will be published there. However, because they may not like what you wrote one time, that should not foreclose your less insensitive rantings from being considered in the future.

“Did she choose to be abused as a child?”If you knew what I went through before being adopted at a young age, you would scream. However, Biblical values taught to me by my WWII vet father have allowed me to be a functioning part of society and not a drug addict, criminal or murderer. He and mom were no excuses people. It is about time we start going back to holding to the truth, more so than worrying about hurt feelings.

You had the choice to not badmouth a dead person that was abused as a child,
and you chose otherwise.
Mentally ill people often don’t have the choice, thus mentally ill.
Luckily your crap doesn’t stink, so you’re all good.

Having an opinion is not the problem. Knowing when to give it, or not, in an otherwise attempt to be civil is the problem.
I try this on occasion. Work hard and Be kind.

Saying Anne Heche died of because of the bad life decisions
she made ignores how decisions of
others damaged her. Her upbringing was apparently severely dysfunctional, including being raised by a closeted homosexual father who died of AIDS. She went public about being sexually abused.
She embraced acting, as many who are exposed to trauma do as a means of escaping their horrific situations. She apparently self-medicated as many child trauma victims also do.
Her death is more a reflection of the failure of others than of her own. She was a damaged as a child and didn't deserve what was done to her. Her tragic inability to overcome it is not something to fault her for. She tried; many don't, shutting down that voice deep down telling themselves there's something wrong.
How would I have lived in if in her shoes?

Lol
Nice to see a reasonable person here
Thank you Pete
Many here can be so heartless and then gloat over it and fist pump
Never understood that
Who deserves what is generallly speaking up to the lord not us
