ORIGINAL: Plasticine Despite what I said, I am against censorship and banning. Shunning, however, is an unstoppable social force. See, I think I might disagree with you (although my opinion is not yet fully formed and may easily be swayed). This place isn't the last bastion of free speech-it's a forum for the discussion of wiitwd. I don't think I care if people are allowed to say whatever it is that they think-I suspect I'd rather have a forum where discussion flowed smoothly and easily, and where posters acknowledge that the space is privately owned and that they have no automatic right to behave however disruptively they want. On the other hand, I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't here partially for entertainment-I don't *want* to stop taking the piss out of sm22 because it's entertaining. The way he spoke to Ishtar, for example, was creepy and unpleasant and disruptive (I'm referring more to the first thread that got deleted here). But her responses were entertaining. I didn't want her to shun him because I was enjoying her reactions. So I'm conflicted.
