I think you are mistaken. _Au contraire_, I find that the gCaptain community has an uncommon tolerance for differences of opinion, and the only subject on which I’ve seen evidence of a firm editorial stance is on the subject of #BLM: > [@Diversity & inclusion helps?](https://forum.gcaptain.com/t/diversity-inclusion-helps/55663): > > Oh I’m sooooooo sure that diversity & inclusion helped put out the fire!!! Would someone please tell me how D & I, in and of itself, promotes good seamanship & firefighting? Oh wait. I know. The nozzleman can spray better now!!! The AB can tie a better bowline!! GOOD GRIEF! Apart from that, pretty much anything goes, a fact I value tremendously. Take the running gun battle between @ombugge and @c.captain as an example; I don’t think I can say it much better than I did here: > [@Differences of Opinion](https://forum.gcaptain.com/t/differences-of-opinion/51155/1): > > I didn’t come here because I perceive that my nose belongs in certain matters. I came here for the stimulating discussion of all matters maritime, provided by highly skilled and surprisingly enlightened professionals from a wide variety of backgrounds. One of the things I appreciate the most about gCaptain is that objectionable opinions are allowed, even if they amount only to baseless vitriol. This is something precious that should not be taken for granted. Arenas of intelligent discourse … Inasmuch as there is a consistent trend towards sexual harassment threads getting locked or deleted, I believe that it is due to the aforementioned issues with promoting off-site content, combined with an intrinsic tendency for such threads to descend into the sort of unproductive exchange that must be curbed in order to maintain a healthy climate for meaningful discussion. I’ll take this opportunity again to thank @john and our team of moderators for creating this space and keeping it free! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.gcaptain.com/t/censorship/56701)._
