I don't know. I'm pretty sure I know why you're ranting and if that is the case, then I feel almost the exact opposite of how you do. The line was crossed the moment people started to post requests based off the Sandusky abuse scandal where children were raped and when real children were named as desired participants. The same stories would be fine if they didn't involve real kids or were based off of the suffering of real kids, and I'd agree with you firmly if that were the case

I view it in the same light as I view the American First Amendment protecting disrespectful assholes like Westboro Baptist Church. My initial response is "What the fuck?" My secondary and third responses are rarely better. However, that same thing protects Landover Baptist, which I think is hilarious and I know many groups are trying to shut down.

Do I think they're in the right? Fuck, no. In my viewpoint, it's disrespectful and sick and they cross lines when they do things like that. But I'm afraid the only way to censor things like that would be to keep going and censor many other things. Is it a good solution? No. Sometimes I think you can only keep going.

Go play on the other link. It's funny. :)

It may be an issue we have to agree to disagree on, but whether it's allowed or not isn't censorship. Blindfold removing a prompt isn't the same as the government denying access to information

While that inspired my small rant, the rant itself was more generalized and largely inspired by my paranoia of censorship.

I'm also all for "agree to disagree." This is just my viewpoint, and I definitely can understand yours.

That's understandable and thank you for being cool about things.

No prob. :)
