Yes, I "dare censor". My role here is to ensure that forum rules are followed and that as far as possible this is kept a fun, friendly place where people of any sexuality or political leaning can discuss Larian's games. By participating in this community you sign up to abide by its social contract.
It is true that the game opens up challenging political themes, and that is why we don't outright ban political discussion when it is relevant to the game. But we do insist any such discussion here is carried out respectfully, civilly and without heat.
If this thread continues to attract posts that flout those rules I have two choices: lock the thread to prevent them being posted in the first place, or delete the offending posts so that people who are willing to discuss in line with forum rules can continue to debate. I have chosen the latter approach in this case as the one that allows most freedom of discussion within the framework we should all be operating under here.
We are all free to discuss things that aren't suitable for conversation on this public, open gaming forum on other places on the internet that are more appropriate for such debates.
I will also say that while I think it's worth my clarifying here why I am doing what I am doing with respect to moderating this thread, public challenge to moderation decisions is also not in accordance with forum rules. Please PM me if you have any queries or arguments.
