Most would-be censors I've met aren't evil people, they're intentions
are usually quite noble and sincere. Except they want to censor everyone based on their views, which is tyranny. That isn't noble.
True, many of them are wrong and misguided, but it accomplishes nothing to demonize people you disagree with, except to promote fear and misunderstanding.
I don't misunderstand censors. They're Nazi bastards who enjoy making the internet to fit their evil views and intentions, not caring what the rest of free speechers on the net care.
