To be honest I think Roger Ver agrees with Classic so when he is asked in interviews why he agrees with classic he can subtlety drop an advertisement about his website. "By the way Classic is censored in the official reddit thats why we created Bitcoin.com..." it's not that subtle actually.
Yes the censorship sucks, and they will use that against us to gain credibility. I think censorship should not be done even if we are right, it is just a bad thing to do.
it was in no way censorship, you've bought into the double-speak of the sock-puppets and shills who were over-running the legitimate bitcoin forums before better moderation showed up (notice how they still jealously covet getting a voice on these "hated censored forums") ... it was totally out of control, there was no debate before, just a loud cacophony of propaganda ... once they go to their "own" forums they had nothing to say and just started tearing strips off each other.
