Thom: “I was gagged. I had a gagging order served on me. Indirectly, at one point. Over something, which I obviously can’t tell you about. But I have to say gagging orders are the most unpleasant legal invention known to man. They are sick. They are bad news… It just amazes me that if one lives in democracy you are still… you can basically be gagged. And when you’re gagged, you’re gagged. That’s it.” (XFM, spring 2003)
