It\\\'s a new discussion system, and I still have some questions. To pull straight from my old post:

1. Why do we have the Erich Fromm quote as the definitive quote for MoralGuardians? It\\\'s not like \\\"hate or envy\\\" is uniformly the cause behind moral indignation — most people have good intentions when they try to keep kids out of \\\'\\\'PulpFiction\\\'\\\'.

2. Most \\\"Moral Guardians\\\" types I\\\'ve seen don\\\'t even claim \\\"memberships\\\", let alone vast ones, and Completely Missing The Point with a completely out-of-context-quote is rarer still. It sounds like someone had a few specific bones to pick and used them to define the entire category.

3. To expand on that, is it me, or does the page seem to have become \\\"moral guardians \\\'\\\'I don\\\'t agree with\\\'\\\'\\\"? For example, there are TroperTales stressing how old the troper in question is, as if that\\\'s the qualifier for this label.

...or is censorship in all its forms (\\\'\\\'all\\\'\\\' of them) evil and I\\\'m just the last to know?
