Self censorship:

Silence like a cancer grows. - Paul Simon

We can speak out. It’s not without risk, people might be offended, people might attempt to bully us. But we are adult men and women, we can take it.

Calm, polite, thoughtful, reasoned writing will be our sword and spear. Truthfulness will be our armor and shield.

You see, the bad guys fear our words. That is why they mock, bully and censor. It’s why they burn books. They are terrified of us.
