   Is it censorship when a web site makes you click an extra link in order to see material that may be considered offensive to some?
No it’s not.

So how is that different from having to click an extra link to see the “un-murfled” version of a message? Do you recognize only shades of grey, but not shades of pink?

All censorship is equal, but some censorship is more equal than others.

Cute!
