Censorship is particularly harmful to the project of rationality, because it encourages hypocrisy and the thinking of thoughts for reasons other than that they are true. You must do what you feel is right, of course, and I don't know what the post you're referring to was about, but I don't trust you to be responding to some actual problematic post instead of self-righteously overreacting. Which is a problem in and of itself.

I don't see that that's passive-aggressive when it's accompanied by a clear and explicit statement that Nominull thinks Eliezer is wrong and why. What would be passive-aggressive is just saying "Well, I suppose you must do what you feel is right" and expecting Eliezer to work out that disapproval is being expressed and what sort.
