Sometimes, being LOUD (and blogging) about injustice makes it more uncomfortable for people to do nothing than to act fairly.  (It's the old idea of an independent press being a check and balance on power...)&lt;BR/&gt;Second, your experience at RWA is important to talk about - and with Banned Books Week starting today, you should continue the conversation.  Knowledge about books, and then ACCESS to those books, is what fighting against censorship is all about.  You are on the front lines of the good fight, and I applaud you!  consider contacting AS IF (authors for intellectual freedom) and talk it up there!  And, maybe do a special banned books week post, with your follow-up thoughts!&lt;BR/&gt;Thank you for all you do,&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Namaste,&lt;BR/&gt;Lee</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2570565204314074545/1262250885887006174/comments/default/3162552398033476956'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2570565204314074545/1262250885887006174/comments/default/3162552398033476956'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://affairedecoeurmagazine.blogspot.com/2008/07/ethics-censorship-and-romance-writers.html?showComment=1222452420000#c3162552398033476956' title=''/><author><name>Lee Wind</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06314692778355984313</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://affairedecoeurmagazine.blogspot.com/2008/07/ethics-censorship-and-romance-writers.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570565204314074545.post-1262250885887006174' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2570565204314074545/posts/default/1262250885887006174' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570565204314074545.post-5126211354189887808</id><published>2008-08-04T06:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-04T06:54:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>That's awful!
