Censorship gone too far?

[ellal]

Exactly right.

The best platform for bad ideas is a public, open one. Expose the ideas and rhetoric to the light of day it will become apparent who is for and against.

As Lal said, put these groups underground and it perpetuates the idea that they must be silencing the truth, all that lark.

On this forum, people get called racist without any proof.

Should people on this forum who have actually made racist comments be censored?

Let's use an analogy:
Someone is hiding behind a door, a fence, a window, whatever, hurling insults and abuse at passers-by, maybe not all passers-by, just the ones that they have singled out. They are doing it from an anonymous vantage position. Their abuse is offensive, insulting, completely off the wall, false allegations, and they are joined by numerous others who add to that abuse, leading to a cacophony of insults and offence. It becomes a wall of offence aimed at specific individuals every time they appear in proximity to that closed, secreted, vantage, anonymous position.

Would it, should it be tolerated?

You seem to tolerate it on here when it suits only yesterday you said someone deserved the abuse they were given in that instance..

Whereas if of course i was to question the effect and population explosion in this country due to immigration - hey that's racism.

The use of those well known racist words that describe certain groups -such posts need to be removed, in the same way swearing is not to be tolerated.

Moral grandstanding though is not helpful and achieves nothing.
