Self-censorship. Am I nuts?

I just finished a post, a rant really. It's seriously critical of this school, but not China. Yet, Dan seemed to think that we could lose our jobs for something like that, so I thought I'd think about it for a day or so before publishing it. I may be totally naive, but I honestly didn't think they would ever find my blog or bother to read it if they did. It's hard to imagine (and horribly ironic given the topic of the post I have temporarily suppressed) that my writing might get me in trouble.

Am I crazy?

You decide!

I was going to write: "oh, come on, publish it here and don't be paranoid!" when Richard said sarcasticly: "yes, publish and be jailed"...

You are nuts. But it is a bit ironic that you're experiencing any sort of censorship in China. Maybe it's only ironic according to the stereotype.

If things are growing to be too miserable, is there any possibility that you might join ELI?
