[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 7780630, member: 46237"]Well said. I actually got banned from posting to a facebook group a year or so ago. I had been a member for years and never really commented on anything, but a post came up that I felt very strongly about. I made a courteous, well-considered, and well-supported argument against the common sentiment, but was banned for trolling nonetheless, simply for disagreeing with the masses. While my reply was polite, the responses to it were anything but, yet I'm sure nothing happened to police any of the extremely rude replies. I've similarly had a post in another group removed where I was posting information to be helpful, but where the OP found it to be too discouraging and had an admin remove it. I find the trend dangerous and disturbing - censorship of another viewpoint simply because one doesn't agree with it, under the guise of combatting trolling.[/QUOTE]
