Counterargument: characterizing a comment literally asking a question of the commenter as a (ahem) "drive to censor" is even more of a "political extrapolation"

  I wasn't suggesting that the commenter was pushing to censor. Just that the same kinds of extrapolations are the motivation and given-justification for a lot of censorship. I do concede that it was an off tangent point.

  The comment very much did not just ask a question. It specifically mentioned trying to find out what the argument is, and mentioned inferring a libertarian bent where none existed.

    > did not just ask a question. It specifically mentioned trying to find out what the argument is, Trying to think of a scenario were "asking a question" and "trying to find out what the argument is" are not synonyms...
