Stand up against censorship

This issue has recently come to my attention. 

Acharya S was a guest on my radio show "Soul Food" last year. She garnered over 2000+ downloads. She is an outspoken advocate on issues many of us in the blogging world would probably not touch and for that she is being punished. Love or hate her, I feel she is being unjustly attacked and her freedom of speech diminished. Censorship is wrong!!

The following links to the story behind her banishment and if you feel compelled I have also included a link to a petition to have her account reinstated.
