Yes, the attempt to censor was botched and I regret the botchery. In retrospect I should have not commented or explained anything, just PM'd Roko and asked him to take down the post without explaining himself.
This is actually quite comforting to know. Thank you.
(I still wonder WHAT ON EARTH WERE YOU THINKING at the time, but you'll answer as and when you think it's a good idea to, and that's fine.)
(I was down the pub with ciphergoth just now and this topic came up ... I said the Very Bad Idea sounded silly as an idea, he said it wasn't as silly as it sounded to me with my knowledge. I can accept that. Then we tried to make sense of the idea of CEV as a practical and useful thing. I fear if I want a CEV process applicable by humans I'm going to have to invent it. Oh well.)
And I would have taken it down. My bad for not asking first most importantly.
