You do not address, however, the question of why, when a pro-council site link is allowed, an anti-council (or at least, if you look at the site, a pro-rate-payers) site is not allowed. Demiurge has decided, apparently by fiat, that my link to a forum on the subject of Bangor is not allowed. He has attemped to explain this as being a commercial site (if it was I think it would be a damn sight better looking!) or a site of my personal creation. This latter is not only reliant on Demiurge's psychic powers to determine, but is also wrong.

I can see no reason to remove the link and leave the council one intact. I would prefer removal of both to removal of either. To leave one side of the story represented and not the other is censorship, no matter what rationalisation Demiurge tries to place on it. There is a great deal of unhappiness in Bangor at the moment about the council's actions and accountability. It is not material which could be covered in a NPOV entry but I believe it certainly deserves a simple link to enable those people who are interested in the town to see that there is a forum for their grievances.

This is all the more important since the local newpaper has been threatened with legal action by officers of the council for even printing the URL which I have linked in. Thus, there is a real freedom of speech issue here. I have not attempted to force this view into the article, part of which I wrote as well as taking and gifting one of the photographs for, but instead simply placed a link in the place put aside for links to Bangor-related sites.

I require that some better defence of the removal of that link than Demiurge's personal opinion be presented. If it is not, then I will simply keep adding it via proxies for the forseeable future.
