And, they always cite  'rules' they believe empowers them to censor -

thereby validating their censorial attributes.

 

Libraries are moving away from air conditioned warehouses of books

where access is controlled.   People do not want to be controlled, they

want their information needs facilitated.  And, alternatives exist without

controlling middlemen.women to limit access.

 

In another scenario, Brian might have thought to compliment M. McGorty's

creativity and advise of another list that he had researched that could 

benefit from that style of writing.  That would have demonstrated some

skill and diplomacy.

It has nothing to do with what I want. Maybe you should read the rest of the
description of the list instead of selectively reading one part. It clearly
defines the contents of the list.

Why would Brian Gray presume to know what I want to read or seek
to deny me the chance to review the creative writing skills
of M. McGorty?  I enjoy divergent thinking.

I have a question for the list.  What is it about the library
profession that historically has fought to uphold the first
amendment, foster critical thinking, and grow inclusive
collections that has attracted so many who will not?
