It is clear they are increasingly forcing more hate into Bitcoin.  But we need to stand up and fight, not accept and obey.
Are you willing to do that publicly? Judging by your username, and judging by what I've read about you, you value your privacy. I don't think Bitcointalk's Admin isn't as anonymous as you are, which means there can be real-life consequences.

As soon as Bitcoin Talk does Censorship I will start looking for an alternative and I am convinced I am not the only one.
Are there any good alternatives? I think theymos has a good point here:
I wish that more work was being done on creating decentralized, uncensorable, but also usable forums. I would love nothing more than to be able to shut down bitcointalk.org due to some decentralized solution making it obsolete. Find me a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working on this, and I'll donate to it.
I wouldn't mind downloading 60 million posts just to be able to acces a fully decentralized version of Bitcointalk, but if spammers make that 60 billion posts, it's going to have a usability problem.

And yet, theymos claims he was "never" contacted by authorities:
I'm curious myself if there were any formal requests or warnings received
We've received no warnings or requests to change policy from law enforcement regarding mixers.
The way I read this, it's carefully worded and doesn't say what you think it says.
