Well Bob, this is what I takeaway from your post.
You want to censor Singer because you don't like him.
You are also saying that because he has offended people that his "system" should not be discussed in a public forum.
Why should his system be discussed in a public forum?
Well, if you disagree with the system, you certainly want the system exposed to the public.
If you agree with the system, you want to be able to access as much information as possible about it.
If you don't know, you would want to examine it and make up your own mind.
Any news reporter worth his salt does not limit himself to covering "popular stories." Permitting censorship on any level chips away at what a free press is supposed to be. The public has a right to know, and the public should know.
If you oppose Singer's system, you might say that my reporting on Singer brings the flaws in his system out in the open. If you hadn't made up your mind and just wondered what it was all about, well now you have some concrete examples right from the author. And as an added bonus -- you didn't have to pay for a seminar, pay for a bundle of books and tapes, and you didn't have to travel to a lecture at South Pointe to find out what it's all about.
Had I not interviewed Singer, and had Singer not been gracious enough to travel from Phoenix and to spend two days with me in Vegas, what Singer's "special plays" are would still be a mystery and there would only be speculation about them.
I would presume from all of that, that you will also research and report on all of the personal attacks he has made on other people. You will quote him word-for-word, his disparaging remarks about the health of loved ones and family members of those who disagreed with him, his expressed glee at the death of someone who disagreed with him.
I suspect you won't. You appear to be willing to try to separate the behavior of the man toward others from his gaming systems. That would be censorship.....self-censorship.
