Thread: let's discuss language censorship!

language censorship is a ridiculous, self-defeating cause and that is something I feel very strongly about. I respectfully refuse to compromise my beliefs to accommodate you. of course, I use discretion; but seeing as this is a public forum and you have the option to either de-friend me or take me off of your news feed (the latter, I hope), I see no reason to censor myself.

I guess the problem is that I tend to be too thorough and over-explain myself. I always try to cover everything and be very clear, and I probably do go a little overboard sometimes. maybe it can be interpreted as rude. I can see "robotic" as coming off cold. of course. but anyone who knows me (or cares to know me) would understand this "quirk" and over-look it. anyone else, like Dr. Seuss said, doesn't matter.

I mean, if I ask my roomate not to put a photoshopped poster of a nude Lady Gaga on our wall, he shouldn't assume that I support banning pornography. It just doesn't follow.

on this wall, do you have the option to block images?

I'm not using it as a perfect analogy. It only applies to the whole whether or not asking you to swear means she supports censorship. I mean, I prefer going without hearing harsh language. But I don't support censorship.
