One thing to remember from this case is that none of the posters involved broke forum rules. They may have expressed unpopular opinions, but no rules were broken. As was correctly pointed out, removal of posts because they express an unpopular opinion is censorship, it's just a matter of whether you're on the giving or receiving end of it.
Brian and I are very cautious in our enforcement of the rules and are reluctant to delete posts unless rules have clearly been broken (and even then we usually give the original poster an opportunity to change their posts). Just because someone disagrees with a post does not make it wrong, unless forum rules have been broken or constitutes a personal attack on an individual.
Remember, unpopular opinions are protected speech under the 1st amendment. We may not agree with an opinion, but as Americans we should fight to the death to protect the right of someone to hold that opinion.
