You just hate the idea of civil discourse don't you?
Take the insults out of your posts and there's nothing left so you have to edit them back in.

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Example 4506: Dirty dick supporting censorship.

I keep the insults in as an act of mercy, so you can ignore my points and school marm to save face when I hand you your ass on the larger issue. The kabuki theater of projection is just a bonus.

Still no understanding of the difference between censorship and moderation.

That one is easy. When I restrict myself, it's moderation.
When someone else restricts me, it's censorship.

How about when Martin restricts on his own forum in order to facilitate civil discourse?
Censorship or moderation?

Still censorship.

I moderate my drinking of alcohol. Note that if I don't, the state may censor (arrest) me if I attempt to drive or start fights, mouth off to the cop, etc. They also censor me from its consumption before age 21 (or try to anyways).

Not saying such censorship is always a bad thing, but it is still something imposed on me rather than something I have "moderated" myself from doing. Martin could say it's the "right" thing to censor me, but it would by its nature always be authoritarian, imposed on me rather than by my own choice.

Yeah yeah, we already know you can't do civil discourse. Without the insults you have nothing.
Sad.

You guys want to try a break from the insults?
