Ditto.

So, banning racist hate speech is an unacceptable limitation of free speech, but banning an entire genre of music is perfectly acceptable? Could one of you explain the logic you're using please as it seems very different from our Earth logic.

I think that's sarcasm -- some of our fellow Paizoans simply aren't in synch with the most unique American musical form since Jazz and Blues.

Well since rap often has racism and hate speech in it how could you support silencing a neo nazi and not rap? People quote the body count of jews in WW2 as prof of why nazi must be silenced but what is the body count of inner city violence? One standard, whats good for the goose is good for the gander after all

Well, either I find more redeeming qualities in nazi hate speech than that genre of music, or I was making a joke.

Or both...

Upon reflection, I'm not sure that the way this thread has now diverged is an improvement. Locking this up now.
