I agree. I don't think self censorship is bad. I was never saying that. In point of fact self censorship is a vital part of free speech.

The point I was making is that the word censorship does not exist in a Government only context. it happens on a personal level. it happens on an interpersonal level. A person can be silenced by themselves which is fine, and an person can be silenced by others, which is not fine, and a person can be silenced by their government which is really not fine, and infact in America is a crime.

I still think that using the word 'censorship' for this phenomenon is diluting its meaning. And I don't think that it's necessary to use 'self censorship' in place of perfectly good words like, say, 'tact'.

Censorship is generally considered a negative thing, so I fail to see what the point is in convincing people that by not being asshats they are actually self-censoring, which implies that they *shouldn't* have to because censorship is bad. We see too much of that entitled shit.
Let's go back to calling it being polite.
