Mill wrote brilliantly about censorship, to paraphrase, "it deprives us of the opportunity to replace error with truth."

I know the feeling all too well. I enjoy being corrected when I am wrong, even if I seem stubborn at first, I'm always willing to open myself to new knowledge in order to grow.
I've not read any of J.S Mill's work. I'll have to check it out. Thanks!
