To Nas:
“The fact is
that censorship always defeats its own purpose, for it creates, in the
end, the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real
discretion.”
Henry Steele Commager
The fact is that Henry Steele Commager is talking about a society in which it's common citizens pay tax to a government and which in turn slaps censorship on the people themselves.
When you say “Censorship reflects a society's lack of confidence in itself. It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime.”, you are talking about a government again.
Now, there is very big difference between governments and sajha if you didn't know that already. Sajha does not tax it's people. Sajha has a goal of helping out Nepalese people and to bring Nepalis together, and if any one's actions seems to be against it's goal, it has every right to say no to their posting or to deny them the priviledge of being part of this virtual community because their goals do not match the goals of sajha.
So, Nas, with due respect I bring to your attention that you are comparing apples to oranges.
