That's not true. I never said anything about "conflict of interest."  
Maybe Joe did, but I don't remember anything along those lines.

I *did* say that an absolutist policy of removing all links to  
"attack sites" is a form of censorship. I don't see how that is  
"making it personal."

As for ratcheted rhetoric, I think Jayjg's own rhetoric has been  
fairly intense, but I imagine he would dispute that.
