Oh, please. Subs are allowed to set their own standards, it has been that way since forever. Thinking that you're being censored when you get banned for posting anti-gay shit in a pro-gay sub is like thinking you're being censored because you walked into a church and tried passing out copies of The God Delusion and they kicked you out for it.

This thread died over a week ago.

You don't see the irony of being censored, complaining about it, fleeing to a free speech site where they don't censor - and setting up your own censorship? You really can't see that?

No, you are conflating two different domains. The analogy for a sub is not the public square, it's a church, club, etc. You aren't being censored because you went into a sub and started posting stuff that doesn't follow their rules and then got thrown out for it. It isn't your right to go into a pro-gay sub and start posting anti-gay shit anymore than it's an atheist's right to walk into a church and start passing out atheist literature.

Re-read that last sentence a few times until you clearly understand what it means, because it seems like you didn't get it from the first time you read it.

Complaining about being censored and then setting up your own censorship regime.

Ok, clearly there is some pretty fundamental disagreement about what censorship is.

In the example given, where a church throws you out for passing out atheist literature, why is that censorship?

You people got censored off of reddit. You then fled to a free speech site where they don't believe in censorship. You then began censorship.

You really aren't seeing it here? Censorship is bad when it's done to us but OK when we do it to others? You really aren't comprehending the tremendous gap between the two? It's literally Orwell's doublethink.
