Can you get me a signed and official US law legal opinion that such discussion would not, under any circumstances, have negative legal ramifications for this site, either directly or indirectly? What about in the area of public relations? In the process of trying to bring your thread back, someone else posted an article showing just how "hot" this topic is. It has nothing to do with AS or issues that those with AS confront. WHY should we take the risk? In the absense of legal counsel, the only safe route is removal. It's a judgment call. I am sorry you have zero respect for the judgment of the moderators, but its what we've got at this moment to protect the site.
While you've gotten some support for your position, it is at best 50/50 and that isn't enough for me to feel we've made a mistake and need to take a second look at it. This decision was NOT arbitrary NOR the decision of a single mod.
