I have a stalker or six! :) Clearly my political opinion of Israel upsets some people and rather than allow freedom of expression they decide to try to curtail it in the way Parisien Islamicists do.
Sign a petition calling for the boycott of Israel until it returns to its legal 1967 borders.
I suspect there are people who object to your signature as it is (under a strict interpretation of the rules) political opinion, and thus should be in the Soapbox. Personally, I don't have a problem with it, even though I disagree with it.
Sign a petition to send Fatboy back to the future. :)

Ah, it isn't political, it calls for an enforcement of international law as laid down by the UN! ;P

I know of at least one person who objected to it. The thread on it was quite entertaining to watch yesterday.

And to answer your question, I don't agree with any kind of censorship!

It's a political link, which is not allowed in the Lounge.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
True, and I don't have any personal problems with that. Which means I don't post politics in the lounge. And if someone does I tell them so, there's the difference. So it doesn't mean I have to agree on censorship. And BTW, neither is spam, do you want to go on a crusade against spammy signatures too? :rolleyes:

My point is, there is no such thing as full free speech in the lounge. The lounge rules have specific censorship rules. If someone is not following the rules, there's nothing wrong with reporting them and there's nothing wrong with not reporting them.

The lounge isn't a place for people to grind their axes. The soapbox was setup specifically to take this sort of overflow.

It's not about free speech vs censorship. It's about respecting the conversation. If you're in a room and one group is talking about gardening you don't just waltz up and launch into a diatribe against the French President. Unless it's about his treatment of his azaleas and his thoughts on garden tool storage. Free speech is a right, but it carries an obligation to show a little respect.

The post that I saw removed was about how bad it is to work from home.Hardly political. The reason [evetually] given was FB's signature.
