So you are saying that authors are not allowed to choose what they put out or they are for some kind of censorship? 😕

If I came off hostile I apologize, but I disagree with you.

I never once said that. I feel yes an author can do whatever he chooses with his own work. I was simply saying it is contradictory to say you are against all kinds of "book burning" and then do this.

Lol that is all, I am not saying he can't do it. I'm just saying his actions contradict his words. I'm honestly not getting how that is wrong to say. It doesn't mean he can't choose what he puts out. I do disagree with him, but this is his right. I just found his words odd given what he's doing. Maybe people took it the wrong way and thought I meant he can't do it.

Their property they can do whatever they want. You seem determined to be offended. Who cares?

I asume the meaning of book burning in his interpretation must have an stronger meaning than just "censorship". He could be wrong in the technical terms but I also think he IS for certain kinds of censorship.

Also saying he's not censoring others it's kind of a red herring, producing a show is the work of several people. The Simpsons have been translated in several languages and broadcasted in many different countries by different TV stations. I kind of wonder how that would work for those versions of the show.

I guess maybe I interpreted it wrong, but he specifically said "book burning of any kind". So I dunno.

I guess yeah technically if you look at it that way he is censoring people.
