I too disagree with a posted link, and therefore earnestly believe that it should be censored so nobody can see it.

The introspective point raised is quite valid (and has already spawned discussion); the public shaming of an individual citizen of this community is unacceptable. It's not about censorship of ideas - it's about cutting off the funding (and in this case motive) for yet another case of a non-hacker outsider attacking one of us for personal gain.

Are you trying to build 1984 society here?

I was being sarcastic, to highlight what i viewed as the absurdity of the parent comment. I'm sorry if that didn't come through. Unless YOU were being sarcastic and -I- failed to get it...

Oh god I don't know what's real anymore. Help, I'm trapped in a sarcasm factory.
