Really, it's kind of hard to believe that LGB is anywhere near as obnoxious here as on Reddit. Maybe I'm hanging with different LGB people than you are? The DropTheT people seem reasonable. I don't agree with everything there (or anywhere) but my experience is that it is a rational place. I don't think anyone there would say that gay men are really women, unless you mean "gay men" who were born female.

Really, it's kind of hard to believe that LGB is anywhere near as obnoxious here as on Reddit.
Here's what happened:
They get censored off of Reddit.
They are outraged at being censored.
They start a new group on Sadit, a free speech website where there is no censorship.
Saidit users notice the group and post opinions that disagree with them.
They are outraged to find people disagree with them.
They begin censorship, the same thing that they were outraged at when it was done to them.
Seriously, go look at /s/lgbdropthet. It says right there in the sidebar that they practice censorship. On a free speech website. They got dropped from /all for it.

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.
