I think if I were to point out that that considering terrorists an institution could spawn the same argument over definitions we are already having over the definition of censorship, you might get what I am saying?

What defines an institution in your view? Because I would say if we count terrorist organisations as an institution then it would seem that any group of people with a common (and that's a loose definition of common to begin with) goal counts as an institution.

Which if we accept that definition means that censorship can come from an almost limitless source.

And yes, it may be ineffective censorship because these magazines still exist, but if you think they will ever post a cartoon like that again without a serious sweat about it, well you're wrong. They have censored that one type of expression (The discussion of weather anything of value was lost is another thing, but its not a good thing when pictures can be expected to be met with bullets.)

I do not thing shooting up Charlie Hebdo counted as discussion. I think what is happening here is a discussion (a less pleasant discussion since we're calling eachothers ideas idiotic now, but you're not putting any more pressure on me than an exchange of words, so this is not censorship) If you were to start following me all over the internet going on about this discussion over and over, calling my work to get me fired, bringing all your buddy along to shame me for my idiocy, then you would be trying to silence me with something more than a simple discussion, and that would be an attempt to censor me.

What you don't seem to understand is that I get what you're saying. It's still wrong. It doesn't matter how much you try to shine that turd, separating institutional power from censorship so that you can yell "censorship" indiscriminately in ways that confuse it with criticism and comment is wrong.

If we're going to talk about terrorism as censorship, we need to talk about terrorism as part of heavily funded and organized ideological movements. If we're going to talk about harassment as censorship, we need to talk about levels of power and privilege and abuse of power that allows that to happen.
