[QUOTE="avstor, post: 887898, member: 87871"] That is how the entire internet works, from Facebook to Twitter to forums of all types. It will never change. You either accept it or you don't. The greatest tragedy is that those sensitive, emotional people use downvote buttons, report buttons, and behind the scenes antics as censorship mechanisms. The internet is a place of eternal conflict, a boiling cauldron of different points of view. That is what makes the internet fundamentally great. What is slowly killing the net are rules designed specifically to quash free exchange in the manner that those making the exchange want to do it. Enforcing the will of the hive on the minority because some people are sensitive, emotional and cannot handle getting their feathers ruffled. There is absolutely no argument whatsoever that anyone can give to justify censorship of any kind for any reason. Censorship is the worst cringe of all. No matter how much you dislike what the message is or how much the manner in which it is presented offends you, you are wrong if your reaction is to lash out and censor. People believe they have a basic right to lash out and censor. They do not as nowhere is such a right granted. Any psychologist will tell you that your only right is to control your emotions.
