You have an interestingly pervasive definition of "censorship".

By your definition, anyone attempting to even disipline, after the
fact, a person who had shouted "fire" in a crowded theater, in par-
tcular one that had not in fact been on fire, would be guilt of
unwarranted "censorship".

Assuming, for the sake of argument, that I and every other member of
RIPE agreed with that exact assertion, then I would be forced to ask the
obvious question:  What then are the goals, missions, and responsibilities
of the RIPE Anti-Abuse working group?
