I think I am completely factual. After I wrote this, I went to the questionlist and found the cry "we dont censor" in one of the reactions. Which proves my point, I think. You yourself use that term in your email.
Well, we don't.
But you do.
Our mission - Wikimedia's bias - is that more information is better than less information.
If I were to make an account with the user name CumInYourCornflakes or HitlerMyHero there'd be someone all over the account within minutes, blocking banning, and deleting.
And "filtering" when applied by a third party is what censorship is.
No it is NOT. It is not censorship if I choose not to see X, that is my choice. So long as YOU have the choice to see X if you want to then we can both live in harmony. The conflict arises when you say that I must see X, or if I say you must not see X. Where X is some broadly recognized category of offensive material.
