There was quite an in depth discussion a while back about precisely this
matter on the Nomads list. I think the conclusion was reached that Mike
(bless his heart) was in fact a little ambiguous when it came it came to
his stated position on censorship issues and his unequivocal support of
Dworkin. Still, you can be friends with individuals and still hold
different views. Once I even had a friend who voted Conservative, can
you believe that? It was a long time ago though. <grin>
