Assistant Editor's hat)

Let us nip this particular rumor right off in the bud.

At no time did Baroness Brise or any other member of the Pennsic staff order 
the Pennsic Independent to publish or not to publish any story on any 
subject. There is simply no truth whatsoever to the assertion that the PI 
was "muzzled" or censored in any way nor was there any attempt by any member 
of the Pennsic staff to do so. The PI is completely outside the control of 
the Pennsic War staff and is a private merchant.
