Second: Again, according to the Museum itself, Dial was not specifically involved with the exhibition. Third: We don't have a right to Dial's money; our rights are not abridged if they choose not to support us; and if they want to tell us what to do with their money (or not do), that's their right too. Their behavior may be boorish, but it's not censorship, unless you're prepared to say that market forces in general consitute censorship. I'm not quite prepared to go that far.
