Or forums where you post something, arguing why open discussion of a certain topic should be allowed, and your comment is rendered selectively invisible a few minutes after you make it.

I'm told it is only worth arguing about such things at Alicorn's Dinner Parties. Although I can't imagine it is the optimal strategy for being invited back.

It's not really that helpful to argue it at my dinner parties, either. I'm at all of them, I oppose the karma tax, it's still here.

I was going to retract that comment... I have No Opinion on the advisability of current moderation policy and practice, in general. It's just this one issue where I hope that the powers will eventually see sense; so complaining about the bare fact that they choose to exercise their authority is not the thing to do.
