OK, let's stop with the "censorship" nonsense:

1. There is no cabal of moderators waiting to censor posts. This is not Reddit. There is pretty much just dang as the primary admin.

2. Posts are just flagged by other users who feel it is off-topic, or not likely to lead to productive discussion.

I'm guessing that users who flagged this thought it was "not likely to lead to productive discussion". While I may not agree with that point of view, I certainly don't think it is some sort of "censorship".




I mostly agree with you, but sometimes it's not "not likely to lead to productive discussion", but instead just "I disagree with you". Which I do wish we had less of.
