This is a link to HeroRealm's solicitation list for May. Click and scroll down to the solicitation for Justice League Archives #8 and you will discover that the filter has censored out artist D i c k Dillon's name! Now, I think I'd better spell his name out in THIS forum, but let's see what happens when I don't: Dick Dillon. Well, I'll find out later if it worked. In any case, the HeroRealm censor is just another case of censorship going too far and I'm appalled. There are a good many people out there named Dick, including other DC personnel. Need I remind HeroRealm that free speech has a meaning to some of us...

Well it looks like we can talk about Dicks on the DC board, so that's progress.

We can? Cool!

OK, first there's Dick York, then suddenly it's Dick Sargent.

What was up with that?

You don't just switch Dicks then act like nothing happened!

See? Now I appreciate the DC forum more than ever, because here, we can discuss these different Dicks without the fear of censorship.

I think "Dick" was taken out of the board's censor because it's Robin/Nightwing's first name, and he's too important a name to be censored.
