Chill out

Malchow observes a table in Baker/Berry featuring "Banned Books" and makes a ridiculously snide comment that "[t]he kind of books faught [sic] for when they are attack [sic], and the lessons of that attack remembered long after" were absent from the display, an opinion he arrived at apparently from the singular omission of The Satanic Verses from the display.

Now, he doesn't stop at just flinging mud on our librarians' taste in censored literature. He also, in his title—"Chill, Observerd"—refers back to some accusations that he has made in regards to the voxinclamantis.org/Spalding clash, mostly to the effect that there is a chilling effect on any opinions that differ from the panoply of liberal orthodoxies to which we are apparently being subjected.

I would say something witty and piquant here, but "what the fuck" will probably suffice.
