I think that the statement made about Benjamin Franklin is rather inaccurate. Ben Franklin was a printer, publisher, and writer for most of his life, which puts his occupation at a parallel with what Blizzard is currently doing. However, Ben never displayed censorship at this level. In fact, he published plenty of pieces which were considered quite racy and controversial by the day's standards. It is true that he would not publish articles that were malignant in nature, but I have a hard time believing he would condone the censorship that Blizzard is currently demonstrating.
