You are, of course, quite right and I would accept that. However, now and
then there are issues that crop up that transcend the parameters of what
we are allowed and need to discuss as genealogists and family historians
in a wider sense.

In my view, the subject of privacy and unnecessary (in my view)
censorship of family histories to accommodate the whims and objections
of living individuals is one of those issues, otherwise we have no right to
be taken seriously as historians.

I am very sorry if you are unable to understand this, since it seems to me
a very obvious and simple concept.
