With internet censorship on an uprise, then how do you see those that do the internet censorship? Is it sign of strength or weakness, when goverments block sites? Or how about ISPs and sites choosing what their users should not see?

Strength or Weakness?

I chose weakness... good poll - it's indicative of the new oprano and it's direction.

censorship on any level is a weakness shown by those in power

I also believe that private communities need to be moderated

oprano is a private community, it may be open for anyone to register, but it is not a public forum by any means

Please explain the difference between "moderating" a board and "censoring" a board.

So which one does this "private club" cater too?

- The reader?
- The poster?
- The moderator?

Or in other words:

- The webmasters?
- The surfmasters/oldies?
- AEBN?

Right now I see a board that is catering to AEBN´s needs... Which is fair enough, but the action "I will remove this thread/post, because it hurts my feelings" shows alot about the current AEBN character.

Fight words with words - not censorship! Censorship is for the weak, those that can not give a counter-argument to why their actions are justified.

When the lion brawls, then the weak hides :mf_seehea
