Censorship it may be, however how does the boardmaster control what everyone else is allowed to read and what not? He is limited to what is available on his board, there are plenty of possibilities to write whatever one wants on other sites. Hence all the shitty blogs that started to appear with web 2.0.
The website and board is owned by the one paying for it, not by the one merely visiting. And owners do have the right to make the rules and the visitor can either abide or leave. JD decided that *almost* everything is permitted here, which is entirely her right. batmusical.com will delete bullshit, which also is entirely in their right.
If someone enters my house and does not abide by my rules he will get thrown out.

Conclusions? Well, so far: Shitty covers appearing without Steinman-involvement, otherwise nothing new happening, at the most there'll be snippets of songs thrown together from the entire portfolio to make a mediocre 4 minute song that is highly Bovarised. And if Ben Hur Live is anything to go by, the Bat musical might make an appearance in about 10-15 years.
