And alt.prose is not read by most readers of news.announce.important. Would
that have been justification for you to post your message on
news.announce.important? Post your stuff where it's appropriate.

Why do you think your opponent is a right-winger? A right-winger would have
enjoyed your story about a God-fearing American boldly facing
Hispano-Franco-Atheo-Communist scum, wouldn't he?

First of all, nobody prevents you from getting another account to continue posting
your stories there.
Furthermore, as far as I know, nobody has prevented you from posting the
stories to alt.prose, which enjoys much further distribution anyway.
And finally, your insisting on posting stories like "Danielle" on alt.good.news
simply makes no sense. If you were prevented from posting dog stories to
rec.pets.cats, would that be censorship?
