Q&A: On the Censorship on the Honorable Rabbi’s Website
On the Censorship on the Honorable Rabbi’s Website
Question
I saw that you deleted my comment about the topic of colonialism. All I argued was that if I were ruler of the world, I would go and uproot Islam and all the other bad cultures from the root, and in their place bring Western culture to every corner of the world. You probably don’t agree with that claim. But I really have to understand why you delete it?? Where is the Michi from the article in favor of freedom of speech? Why is it that every time someone says something a little different, you have to silence them and delete it?
Answer
I debated whether to delete this stupid question too, but I decided to leave it up as a sign for rebellious children.
Deleting messages on the site is a rare phenomenon, and it is not done because of the content. It is usually done because of lack of content or trolling. Maybe you didn’t understand, but this is not anyone’s propaganda site (not even mine), but a site for discussions.
If you want to write a message at the level of a kindergarten kid’s WhatsApp message that opens with “haha…” and goes on with a festive announcement about your opinion of all the Arabs and Muslims and what they really want deep down inside, then open a website and you can express whatever you want there. This is a democratic country, and that’s a good thing, and I am definitely against silencing even things like that (despite the difficulty). But none of that is my fault, and on my site it won’t happen.
Oh, and if once again you end your question with a stupid conclusion like “every time someone says something a little different, you have to silence them and delete it,” then you’ll be deleted for the sin of lying and for poor logical ability. There is no place on this site for either of those, too.
That’s it. I hope I’ve made the policy clear enough that understanding it will be easy and accessible for all of us.
And hereunto I affix my signature
The Honorable Rabbi (_)
