A magazine is judged by its content. Time magazine doesn't carry pornography. The NY Times doesn't carry the same stories as the National Inquirer (even though nobody would have to read those stories if they were printed). That isn't "censorship" or "book burning." Privately owned and operated publications have the right to formulate their own editorial policies and to decide what they will print and what they won't. Similarly, this forum is judged by its content and the Lounge as previously constituted demeaned the entire forum in my opinion and the opinion of others. Deleting certain types of discussions isn't "censorship," it reflects an editorial decision by the people who run the forum as to what content is appropriate for the forum and what isn't. The fact that nobody was obligated to read the Lounge is irrelevant.
