Comment on What is bunk?

I see the argument for it being counterproductive which I'm tentatively convinced by. But it isn't censorship by most definitions of the term. Saying "you can't say X" is censorship saying "You can't say X on my website" is not censorship. (Again, I am convinced by the counterproductivity argument so we seem to at this point be in more or less agreement if one is going to try to run TakeOnIt in a manner close to the intended general purpose).

Moving Franklin might make sense. Unfortunately, many of the people discussing cryonics are also talking about its general desirability. The questions seem to be frequently discussed together. Incidentally note that there's a high correlation between having a moral or philosophical objection to cryonics and being likely to think it won't work. This potentially suggests that there's some belief overkill going on on one or both sides of this argument.
