No, you obnoxious fool, Minsky censored nothing. It was Vishal [1] who
elided part of your ramblings, and marked it ".... Stuff Deleted" which
you have changed to "Censored by Minsky". Alas, once again your blind
hostility gets the best of you, and further erodes whatever little
credibility you may have left.
