Censorship, Your thoughts? Options

[mr_dude]

I wrote a poll for fun. Some people took it very seriously, and were offended not so much by the poll itself, but by the idea that it might spawn dissenting opinions. Presure closed it. I was pretty amazed given the amount of political flaming and argumentation that took place last year, which, as far as I know didn't result in any serious emotional damage. The unilateral decision to silence the topic was unnerving, but props to Presure for not deleting it altogether.

So here's my serious poll. It's truly out of interest for what people think. I don't care that my topic was closed, I don't need a web forum to crack jokes about things that don't matter. But any intelligent and concise thoughts people have I'd be intrigued to read.

My musing is this: where the line is between acceptable and unacceptable (given the bounds provided by off topic rules). At what point does something become too argumentative? Too pointless? How about the wanted/unwanted attention Natalie, Amy and co get? At some point the subject matter is not what makes waves but the overzealous respondant.

its like mom always said:
"if you aint got anything good to say, dont say anything at all."
like i said, you wanna rant endlessly about whether a hatch or coupe look better, go somewhere else. as far as "off topic" being the most frequented part of the site, thats a joke...i mean seriously.
commer takes the time to build us a sweet site, to talk about 6TH GEN CELICAS.
not to argue about whos car is best, or who has sex in theyre car, or ANY of these topics here.
off topic is a place where you can post your usless stuff, yes, but all it takes is a little common sense.
as far as nat, and amy and the others go, that crap is gonna stop too. its ALL gonna stop.
and as for the "off-topic" social circle, 99% of the "so-called" circle are usless to the site anyway, never post anything worthwhile, or contribute to the site in anyway, so AFAIC they can all leave, and not come back, that wouldnt be a bad thing in my eyes.
