Asaf ,
First of all, by your definition of censorship then I must consider that my reaction to ruslanś message was censored, what makes ruslanś message immune for censorship that my reaction doesn't qualify for ? so I reduced my criticism to the quote you made in the message below
Some of the _questions_ ruslan asked certainly were legitimate, also by my standards but i was not talking about his _questions_ ... i was criticizing some of his "_statements_" and "_remarks_", the implied comments had personal implications and thus were directed at Katy and that was what I qualified as disrespectful of a valuable person. Ruslanś _remarks_ were imho not questioning the WMF decisions or the selection/decision proces, he was attacking the outcome ... I read that in Maggieś response also

I strongly disagree, Derek. That would have been outright censorship. Ruslan asked a perfectly legitimate and useful question; Maggie thought so too, and provided a clear and informative response, which has the added benefit of answering it for other people who may have had the same question as Ruslan but didn't express it.
Questioning WMF decisions, particularly with reference to our principles or to previous stated positions, is certainly appropriate and legitimate, and does not constitute disrespect.
