Since I also saw someone coming up with a spooky story (of how censorship can be a terrible thing), I thought I'd add one of my mine.

I encountered a pretty spooky and creepy coincidence once. So, there were discussions of censorship (and something about legality in some very random backwater country) involving "fictional minors", then, shortly afterwards (I'd say within a few weeks or so), someone (who was there and wasn't keen on censorship) turned up dead. Suicide. In that very country. Very eerie.

Anyway, I don't think we particularly need stories of self-harm or suicide to get to the, rather evident, point that Censorship Of Artistic Expression Is A Bad Thing.

In any case, with things like suicide, it can feel very surreal. Someone is talking normally one day (well, actually week in this case, but you get the saying), like any ordinary person. Then, they are no longer there. So, I guess be good to one another, yes, yes.
