That you support a censorship of certain ideas by no means requires you to exhaustively challenge every possible downside to said censorship.
The other way around. I don’t “support censorship”, instead I don’t see that there are downsides worth mentioning (besides the PR hit), and as a result I disagree that censorship is important. Of course this indicates that I generally disagree with arguments for the harm of the censorship (that I so far understood), and so I argue with them (just as with any other arguments I disagree with that are on topic I’m interested in).
The zeal here is troubling.
No zeal, just expressing my state of belief, and not willing to yield for reasons other than agreement (which is true in general, the censorship topic or not).

No, yielding and the lack thereof is not the indicator of zeal of which I speak. It is the sending out of your soldiers so universally that they reach even into the territory of other’s preferences. That critical line between advocation of policy and the presumption that others must justify their very thoughts (what topics interests them and how their thoughts are affected by the threat of public shaming and censorship) is crossed.
The lack of boundaries is a telling sign according to my model of social dynamics.

It was not my intention to discuss whether something is interesting to others. If it wasn’t clear, I do state so here explicitly. You were probably misled by the first part of this comment, where I objected to your statement that I shouldn’t speculate about what others are interested in. I don’t see why not, so I objected, but I didn’t mean to imply that I did speculate about that in the relevant comment. What I did state is that I myself don’t believe that conversational topic important, and motivation for that remark is discussed in the second part of the same comment.
Besides, asserting that the topic is not interesting to others is false as a point of simple fact, and that would be the problem, not the pattern of its alignment with other assertions. Are there any other statements that you believe I endorse (“in support of censorship”) and that you believe are mistaken?

On severe downvoting of the parent: What are that comment’s flaws? Tell me, I’ll try to correct them. (Must be obvious to warrant a −4.)
