  I have seen this phrase on a couple of threads, my latin is rough but can you explain?

  Censer Watchtower esse delendam
  slow-steady-deliberate-relentless

  'Irritate the Watchtower to its end?'

  Can I join?

  Censer or Censor or Censeo?

  I've look up this in the lexicon and I'm referred to Cato the Elder, "ceterumcenseocathaginemessedelendam."

  So, Censeo Watchtower esse delendam OR censeo speculam esse delendam

  basically, "I advise that the Watchtower must be destroyed."
