    21st Century Book Burning

    I've been reading the Luci RV saga as it has unfolded. Claus' brief foray into the Fortean realm was most entertaining, but sparked a thought. What is the 21st Century equivalent of the practice of book burning? My guess would be the practice of banning contributors from forums. Shutting out...
