Personally I'm against censorship of pretty much any kind (I'm sure there's probably an exception I've forgotten of which some pedantic sod will bring up) but that probably stems from being a bit of a pirate in a past life, yarr harr me mateys!
People say they're against censorship but it seems society would disagree in the main. You don't see much of the KKK in public life and racism/homophobia is generally done quietly with like minded people. There isn't censorship in public but it is generally accepted that swearing/sexism etc is not acceptable it moderates itself. Forums normally don't do censorship, they moderate and have guidelines which makes conversation civil.
MY viewpoint is that civility is good and great conversations can be had in a genial manner. The idea of moderation has been dismissed by the admins and it was only a suggestion at the end of the day. I asked the question, it has been answered. There is no point in arguing over things I can't change. All I've been doing since is explaining my actions and perspective.
Pirates rule, especially since Johnny Depp brought them back in to fashion. "Whose a pretty boy then" seems quite apropos to the discussion. Meh :lol
Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one. Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.
