Whoa whoa whoa! Watch what you say, please.
For the record, I have *NEVER* censored a message here and never will.
Any message I have ever removed has been under one of four cases:
1. Someone is unable to cancel their own message for whatever reason and
specifically requests that it be admin-canceled, and gives the message
URL or quotes the message in a reply asking that it be cancelled --
leaving nothing up to interpretation. This has happened about 10 or 20
times in the past 2 years.
2. By request from LEGO, as just happened yesterday, on legal grounds.
3. Someone accidentally posts two exact copies of the same message to a
group. If I happen to notice a pair of messages like this, I do a 'diff'
and verify that they are identical, and remove the latter. I do this by
hand because I haven't put in an automated way to do it. This isn't
censorship because it's a purely technical process which corrects for a
purely technical -- it's currently too easy to accidentally click the
"Post Message" button twice on the same message in the web interface.
4. And of course, as a regular user, I have canceled a few of my own
messages containing typos and replaced them with newer versions.
Please note that asking someone to consider voluntarily cancel their own
message (I think this has only happened twice), with an explanation as to why,
is very very very different from censoring.
