However, my impression is that most of the 1MB-supporters think the censoring serves as a counterbalance to the higher level of public support BitcoinXT appears to receive. 

Who? Name one 1 MB supporter on this forum, Peter. Whichever singular name you come up with, they will almost certainly refute the label. Check your rhetoric.


Here are a few names of people opposed to the block size increase along with evidence that they feel the censorship is a positive thing in terms of balancing the debate.

1. Theymos (link)
2. Peter Todd (link)
3. Brg444 (link, link)
4. Marcus_of_Augustus (link)
5. LaudaM (link)

I'm quite certain I could compile a much more comprehensive list with higher-quality example quotes too if I spent several days going back through people's comments. 

Anyways, you didn't answer my question.  What is your personal feelings on the ongoing censorship at /r/bitcoin and to a lesser extent here?

Either you don't understand what censorship is or you can't get what XT is. Smiley

1, 2, 3 & 5: I don't think they are against raising block size but they are against XT which is a hardfork without consensus. You are mixing XT with block size increase. Although they have some sort of connection, saying "against block size increase" and "against XT" are completely different.

4: I don't understand what that link suppose to mean. Can you explain?
