Censorship is suppression of free speech.  Spam is saying the same thing
in the same way, such as:

Come to libera
Come to libera
Come to libera

It is not spam to argument something repetitively, but with different
reasons or methods.  Some reasons convince some people, others convince
other people.

Suppression of speech is the first way a minority can control some
people or even control a majority.  It should never be tolerated.  It is
better to accept some vulgar or rude speech than suppress it.  There is
always the /ignore command for those who cannot tolerate it.

The police are agents hired to execute the ruling minority's agenda with
the herd backing them.  I do not like to be policed.  Policing is not
good.
