Pat, I don't see a post where anyone has called for 'censorship'. Several people commented on the content, language and propriety of the song posted by the OP.


You're right, there hasn't been an explicit request for censorship... but when the main points of a discussion pertain to ideology and what's appropriate in the forum, it's generally done to set boundaries. And in a text-based community, boundaries are enforced by rules that censor whatever form of communication has been deemed unacceptable by the most influential group.

The difference between a fight and a discussion is that discussion has a point.

If your point is that the post shouldn't be allowed, then we ARE talking about censorship, we just haven't said it aloud yet.

If your point is that you don't like it but he has a right to post it, one post would have accomplished that. (and I think it is good to do that, BTW)

Maybe I'm wrong here, and this is just one of those healthy expressions of different points of view. If so, then take what I said as yet another opinion.

FWIW, if we HAD to take sides, I would be on your side. The whole point of my post is to avoid polarizing the forum over ideology.
