Has anyone else noticed the irony here?

The last censorship flap we had was over Fang, as I'm sure many of you
will recall. Those who objected to some of the personal attacks he was
making were accused of being censors. We were all lectured on the use
of the delete key, particularly by Fang. Now he uis the one trying to
pull someone else's plug.
