See it all in this light: Some weeks ago I got filtered and I was confronted with the side effect that communication got hampered. I tried to invoke a discussion about filtering here, also about that side effect. The mainstream of the reactions was: Accept it, grow up, get a life. That was a pity, because those people missed the point I tried to make. I was hoping this subthread would become more constructive, but it apparently won't.
