Downvoting... ?

I want to ask "are you responding to the right person", but 
actually... are you responding on the *right website?*

Anyway, my point was just that banning people for holding certain 
kinds of views is absolutely censorship. It's required, and it's 
censorship. Even if a private person does it, it's still 
censorship.

We shouldn't change the definitions of words just because we 
don't like how they make us sound.
