censorship at user talk bad girl you've stated that removing articles from wikipedia has nothing to do with censorship we've been so trained to recoil from censorship that the word is apparently losing its meaning the problem at hand is not censorship but rather the mistaken belief that censorship isn't supposed to occur at wikipedia and that it's inherently evil the wp not article is essentially censorship policy that is good because wikipedia couldn't function without censorship deleting articles at wikipedia has everything to do with censorship intelligent proper censorship should be lauded not denied censorship like discrimination another necessary action practiced here intentionally is usually not a bad thing but we're programmed to recoil from even considering the possibility that we engage in either of those often worthy practices wikipedia is private property and speech restrictions are an essential right of property owners
