Censorship: deleting parts of publications or correspondence or theatrical performances

Walmart deletes various parts of cds that they deem inappropriate, primarily, profanity.

Censor: any person who supervises the manners or morality of others

So, if you consider the ROOT WORD of censorship, I am not exactly off topic, at all. I simply disagree with your immutable view of what censorship is, and what qualifies as censorship. There are various avenues of censorship, whether it is directly omitting information, or simply deterring individuals from viewing the material itself.

So stop censoring people on this message board. According to your definition that's what you're doing.

I'm not censoring, I'm disagreeing. I'm all for them censoring the "Greek" show, though.

You're monitoring people's manners (contributing to the converstation?) that, according to you, is censoring.

If someone freely changes their product in an attempt to make more money it is NOT censorship. Erasing four letter words so they can be played on public airwaves is NOT censorship.

Well, I disagree. And I'm not monitoring anyone else's manners, I'm disagreeing with them. If I made an effort to dispell those mannerisms, then that would be censorship. So, petitioning to end "Greek" is censorship, which I have already said, I am all for, since it contributes to the negative view of the Greek community. That's just my opinion, though, and as others have said, people can simply choose not to watch it, which is also what I plan to do.

So it's not just the monitoring, it's being in a position of power that lets you change things? Because your definition just went flying out the window.

Not exactly. I'm not monitoring anyone's manners, I'm simply disagreeing with them, which is what I just said. This is now pointless.

Post #1 of this thread was pointless. And everything since then just went downhill.
