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.

Wow...great use of the english language

Thanks, wish my GRE scores reflected that...

but I think you might be overreacting a little....Manny just wants everyone to stay on-topic a little more.

Meh, perhaps I'm misreading the severity of his words. I don't think being on topic is wholly the issue. My poll was closed because it was argumentative, however on topic. I think we're worried about the off topic but harmless posts and the on topic but debatable subjects. If people can get angry over body styles, they can get angry over suspension, three-stage turbo, street racing...

Anyway, I love the word "messianic".....I plan to use that if you don't mind

Haha, by all means. Not too often do you get to use it, but if you're young and live with your parents there are definite opportunities.
