Strange. Censorship isn't really understandable.
From what I understood bitcoin classic might be less good than core. Ok with that.
but why censorship? It's really worrying I got to say. I don't like the idea at all!
The only reason they are censoring it, is because they are afraid it might not be worse.
If it really is worse, there's nothing to worry about, because people would ignore it.
People should be offered the choice. That's what decentralization is about.
This forum, as well as /r/bitcoin (who is moderated by the same persons) should have links to all viable and stable releases of bitcoin clients. Not only Core. So that people can make their own choice.
The issue is not free speech, the issue is centralization.
If one user (Theymos) decides on which client gets the spotlight (and therefore, is 99% more likely to out-compete the competition, simply because a large majority of the users is not even aware there is competition in the first place).
And while we could make our own forum, you know that's not a solution. You could make a better facebook, but even though it would be better, it won't gain any users because facebook has over a billion users and your new network will have 0. A social network is nothing if it doesn't have users.
The centralization of this forum is making bitcoin look bad.
