I always find it worrying when someones views are rejected just because they do not agree with yours. Censorship is a valuable tool but dangerous when used too often or for the wrong reasons.
Are you talking in general terms or alluding to something on here? If the latter, perhaps you could provide an example.

What I have seen over the few months I have been 'tuned' in is the degeneration of healthy debate to a offensive slanging match between a small minority of members, with TDO joining in. Accusations and statements cannot be made without evidence to substantiate them otherwise we would all be free to say anything we wanted without being checked. Draw a line under recent events and lets get back to proper debates.
Hmm, another one who seem to think that TDO shouldn't answer back. If you read my posts you'll see that all I'm trying to do is do what you advocate should be done in the second half of your paragraph, so what am I doing wrong?
The problem is that there all kinds of 'accusations and statements' being made 'without evidence to substantiate them', with the intention being merely to cause trouble and discredit the site. When they are challenged to provide examples, none are provided.
The fundamental problem that these people have is that they more the spout such nonsense, the more the site's free speech credentials are underlined, so they are in effect destroying their own case. Any objective reader will easily see through them.
So keep it up lads
