The Anniversary Party
No self-indulgent discussion of the general conventions of the "blogosphere" or the specific conventions of a given blog, in this case The Secret Base of the Rebel Black Dot Society, would be complete without addressing the topic of self-censorship, but it is impossible to comprehensibly discuss self-censorship for the same reasons that make self-censorship necessary in the first place. By no means is that all I have to say on the subject of self-censorship, but it is all I feel I should say given {a} the known readership of this blog and {b} the potential readership of this blog.

Instead, because everybody loves a non sequitor, I'll quote Cicero, "Cum potestas in populo auctoritas in senatu sit" ("While power resides in the people, authority rests with the Senate").
