Maybe not here, and I suppose my comment was more of a reaction to the people who are completely ignorant of the "porn block", but I've heard people go as far as making comparisons to dictatorial countries.

I agree it's a slippery slope and I do oppose it, but the hyperbole and sensationalism from "our" side of the debate does nobody any good.
