This is a fucking brilliant retort to Idgit in their own thread about the media taking notice of the censorship and purges of badthink at the Zone.

Fucking SPOT ON! That is the real reason for the censorship and fascist behavior. Those jerks KNOW they will lose the debate about Jerry and the franchise if an honest discussion is held. They know it because the evidence is simply too overwhelming to defend Jerry, so censorship is the choice of the cowards. It always is.
That was great, sadly, few people anywhere grasp the truth of what he is saying. Forums seem to be driven primarily by the never ending futile desire to silence those whom they don't agree with or an even more pointless endeavor: trying to "win" an internet argument.
Its funny to read people get so bent of shape over what people write and think. I find it pretty easy to deal with people I find offensive, idiotic, etc on the internet, I just move along and don't read what they write. It seems many are incapable of doing this and ironically if they could find the self control to do so, they wouldn't give power to the speech they find so offensive.
Its an odd place we find ourselves with this thing called the internet where the best form of protest is to not to pretest at all and refuse to read certain things and empower the shitty writers by giving them the clicks they so desperately seek.
Personally, I learn the most from those I disagree with. If I can maintain an open mind, I can adjust my thinking to a more accurate view or become more comfortable with the position I currently hold.
Win-win
