It occurs to me that perhaps people's experiences with other online

I question the characterization of the raw materials under consideration here as mere "varying opinions". The target of the PR action has proudly stated that his tactics involve the use of ridicule. I
prefer the term "polemics", but either way, it's not as simple as a
difference of opinion.
If we're going to accept that euphemism, then I suggest we need to stop tossing around the word "censorship" as well.
