IT IS sometimes difficult to express to the public what people actually feel. This may be because of the fear that what writers want to say may not be accepted by a group of readers and the writers may be under the threat of obnoxious vilification from them. When writers write for a newspaper, they expect a protection umbrella from the newspaper concerned and from society as a whole. When editors find that the expected protection and support are dubious, they become conservative and withhold the publication.
