Censorship has a nasty connotation, because it is
imposed by power on a community and often goes
hand-in-hand with abuse of power. This is exactly
what's different between censorship and
self-censorship. Using the word censorship
incorrectly, as a pejorative label to discredit ideas
they don't agree with, really pisses me off. Double
that when the person doing it can't admit he's wrong.
