While doing a google search on an unrelated topic, I happened upon this long-forgotten evidence of my 1989 web presence. It’s a dump of a 1989 bulletin board discussion I got into, and I think got backed into a corner on, on issues of web censorship. I think yo might find it interesting. I probably wouldn’t get as bent out of shape about heil.zip these days, but I can’t be sure. Was the analogy I drew to swastika graffiti on a synagogue wall a reasonable one? It may be an even more pertinent question today than it was in 1989, because the internet is a much larger ‘virtual wall’ on which graffiti will be in a much greater number of people’s faces. I later got into a verbal tussle over similar censorship issues with renowned weblogger (and one of my initial boosters when FmH appeared) Jorn Barger, who was at one point a virtual pariah with a large number of netizens for the appearance of anti-Semitism.
