Please read my followup to Malcolm Hoar earlier in this thread to see why
I believe any content-based censorship is a bad business policy.

My strongest objection was to the tone of your original post.  It had

I do not expect that from anyone I do business with.  Please limit your
justifications to *business* justifications, and I will keep quiet.
