There needs to be less censoring in the poll section of DDO

"Pro thinks I'm a girl only shows how disconnected from reality he is about both the censorship in the polls section and everything else in life" first of that's a non sequitur, second I just assumed anyone with the DP of a frozen character would have being a 14 year old girl... My apologies. Now to start it should be noted that already my opponent has no intention of debating fairly as he has already breached the rules with his half baked rebuttals in his opening argument, obviously giving him an unfair advantage, but he clearly feels he needs all the help he can get. My opponent has admitted that there is censorship for polls the mod may view as racist, how is this fair? Especially when sexism is rampant in the poll section (1) (2) (3) (4) (5). Thus by allowing biased censorship it is actually creating a rod for the back of censorship supporters by suggesting sexism is perfectly fine but racism not. The only solution without turning the poll section into some sort of frivolous joke section of DDO where everything is censored and the only polls put up are ones like 'who would win the fight?' 'Taco' or 'grilled cheese' (6), would be to ease up on censorship. My opponent has outlined the only 4 reasons polls may be removed, which is also false. One of my first polls that started this whole issue was asking if people supported my side or the moderators side, I did not single anyone out or attack anyone, but it was removed. Anyone who has been to the poll section will know what I am talking about. "Put words in my mouth that I have never even said and fabricate false evidence against me", this is a blatant lie, anyone can check I provided the source and evidence for it, which another lie you have accused me of not doing. So thats twice I have caught you out with and I say it again a blatant lie and it was only your first view lines of your opening argument. For my opponent and the voters I will provide the source again (7). You have said those things I quoted you saying so it is not an ad hominem when I say you are a liar and a hypocrite. It's also disgraceful and cowardice behaviour. So far you have lied to the voters and attempted rebuttals in the opening round when it went specifically against the rules; how can anyone be expected to trust my opponent with anything he says now. Now to my opponents sources, most of which are 'big issue' topics which are encouraged to ask about by DDO, so it would be highly hypocritical if these were censored and would likely cost the mods there position if they were to. Also one of them is my own pole (and the source I already provided) only still allowed because I have been challenging airmax on the issue for days now after he contacted me and raised the issue of apparent spamming. And again why can we talk about what religion is better but not what race, again the hypocrisy is clear. Also and my opponent probably knows this, I cannot provide the deleted polls because they have been DELETED, anyone with some common sense would know this. This is where I must thank my opponent for providing the policy on polls, as it clearly outlines some of the reasons you may be censored for example and I quote "reasons such as words that the filter does not recognize (usually usernames), quoting too much, or having too many single characters... If you write a long paragraph". As I have already said this is a pathetic waste of time and this form of censoring needs to go. It should also be noted that even with his head start my opponent's half baked rebuttals did not really address my issues, and dogged nearly every motion I put forth. So again why does my opponent think it should be the responsibility of someone else to decide for us what is offencive or what we should be able to read or learn? Are you for or against censorship? Because even though you may lie about it, you have said previously you are against it and provided reasons why. But it appears my opponent attempted to address the major censoring issue of 'submitted for moderation' with "The thread even warns of how buggy the comment filter built into the site coding (and out of the control of the moderators)", the debate question is "Should" not not how. So my opponent has already admitted that this form of censoring is annoying, which is a major step back for him. I also provided 3 examples of polls made by user TBR which were censored that did not breach any of my opponents outlined 4 conditions, or breach any of the ToU's. Back to the issue of racist polls, how do we even truly know something is wrong, how do we know something is true if we have always just been told it is true. Should'nt people with seemingly odd worldviews be given the chance to say what they want to say. It must have taken them some effort to come up with, it could possibly contain a shred of truth and we or the speaker could learn something, but not when as soon as it comes up in the pole section it is removed. It used to be taught in many prestigious universities that blacks were by inferior (8), obviously completely wrong but it begs the question how do we truly know what is true or moral if we have always just been told so, thus everyone should be given the chance to express their ideas, especially when they are the minority. I know I am not the only one to express these views may other in the poll section have been complaining about the censoring, and it needs to stop.
