There is a difference between a critique and censorship. The person is not advocating that the hosting company of this blog post remove it from the internet, he is saying the writing added no value, so should not have been written in the first place. I would assume your down-votes are for purposefully conflating these points.


> There is a difference between a critique and censorship.

I don't say otherwise, or even refer to "critique" or "censorship" in my post, so what are you talking about?

> The person is not advocating that the hosting company of this blog post remove it from the internet

I also didn't accuse them of advocating the hosting company of this blog remove it from the internet, or even remotely hint at such, so what are you talking about?

> should not have been written in the first place

He said the author of the blog should "just spare us" their opinion.

If you want to carry on pretending you don't understand what that means I can't stop you, but next time try addressing what was actually written, not stuff you've completely made up to argue about.

The downvotes are far more likely simply because some people who love hate speech but hate free speech have more than 500 karma.
