To the extent that I am anti-EU in some respects, particularly around the areas of small businesses and excessive regulation, that is born of experience. As I have mentioned in previous comments, which apparently you might have seen, I have been on the wrong side of EU rules being over-zealously applied before, and I have been on the wrong side of a government regulator that is for most practical purposes above the law making a mistake before. Some things that some commenters tend to dismiss as hypothetical, I know from direct personal experience to be real threats, and I will challenge bad laws that allow scope for such threats to exist.

I find it OT and I hope the moderators do to.

I'm sorry that you feel censorship is a useful response to someone with different experience and views to your own. I like to think that HN is a forum where people can discuss such differences of opinion openly and intelligently.
