And when we remove personal attacks, vandalism, or libel, are we
censoring as well?
Of course. But, at least in the case of libel, it is necessary to our

I don't see removing libel as censorship -- libel falls under the category
of "crying fire in a crowded theatre when there is no fire", thus it is not
free speech as intended by any constitution that allows free speech.
