There a number of things in Oman that a lot boast about which are not what they seem, and it seems sad that the people in Oman don't hesitate to look into these matters so that it can clarify the hidden issues behind them.
One of these issues is how the press in Oman keeps stating that there is freedom of press in the Sultanate of Oman. Which is a complete and utter lie. There is no such thing because had there been such a Heaven on Earth, then we would have been able to complain about service companies such as OmanTel and it's monopolistic standards or how we would be able to talk freely about what we don't like governmental acts.
Another issue, that I consider of pressing nature, is the fact that how religiously in Oman, there is a slow fire on the stove. And God forbid, one day, it's going to pop. We are not religiously 'friendly', and this is proven everytime I am asked by someone whether I am a Shiate or a Sunni or Abadhi - we are all Muslims for God's sakes. Get that through your thick skulls.

Freedom of Speech: do you really consider it a heaven on earth? editors would have no job :p
If you where told to write whatever you want.. on whatever topic.. would that be better than giving you boundaries and limits and red lines? i think with those boundaries and red "walls" you'd be able to be more creative to try to let your message reach in a way that is not so direct; yet understandable enough !
Let the "creativity that lives within the soul" to be reflected on every word you write.. thats how you can let your message reach !
Don't mistake your fear of speaking for it's non-existence.
DoTs...:
Editors not only have to limit down the number the topics and red lines that their writers have to align to but they also have other specific tasks to look into, too.
Creativity cannot grow if there is a wall stopping it from going over the boundary of imagination.

Fear? I have no fear of talking about any issue, but, yet, I choose not to talk about other issues because they are simply nobody's business.
