"Conformity is the graveyard in which individuality is buried." ~~ Nietzsche
Nice quote, but how is it relevant to this thread? I suppose belittling and insulting others is a form of expressing individuality?
It means, people are gonna be people. People argue. Not everyone see's things the same. Without contrast, there is no basis for comparison. These are the principles that keeps the earth turning. I loathe censorship. What's more annoying...someone typing a string of harsh words, or someone crying about harsh words that have been typed? Again, opinions vary. But tthat's just me. I HATE crybabies, more than censorship.
I agree with you about censorship, and I respect your opinion. I'm not sure which of those I dislike more, but if one is generated from the other, I'd rather the source not exist. People aren't perfect and the world isn't perfect. It would be nice to think that people can control themselves, but that isn't always the case. A community such as this needs to have some control, I think, so that people will want to contribute meaningful things to it. I don't like "crying wolf," but if people don't complain about anything, nothing will change. Just my two cents.
Oh, and I have to add that pretty much everyone I've interacted with on NA has been nice. I haven't been part of other forums so I can't compare, but things have been great so far.
