Perhaps the objections are to your general tone, and the moderators struggle t explain it in a simple policy, but, "Know it when they see it", like the supreme court once viewed pornography.
That's what I was trying to say, conversation is called an art, because it can be, and should be used with skill for maximum enjoyment. It is pretty easy to get tired of a guy who never has anything good to say about anything, and keeps complaining as if all opinions that he doesn't support are inferior.
I certainly agree with your position on censorship, and by coincidence , was in the USSR before the fall, seeing censorship in action, where it even extended to personal comings and goings. I had some illegal surfer magazines that were prized by the young girls to see the western styles, and had some friends arrested and fined for taking us to see a church. The cops were waiting when we exited the church, fined the girls about a months pay each and lectured them for about an hour. They could have just disappeared them , if they made up a good reason.
However I do see a change in public conversations, a coarseness in some people who reject established social convention in favor of insults , justifying their actions by insisting that normal politeness can be ignored if you call it political correctness . Times change.
Be well.
