To make this very clear one more time, nobody wants to get rid of OT as a whole (at least nobody I'm aware of). This isn't about shutting down OT, quite the opposite, this is about making OT usable for everybody again.
As for stepping on toes, toes have been stepped on, on both sides, for a long time, it's too late to avoid toe stepping.
How are content restrictions "censorship"? Every site on the Internet has content restrictions (well, most, and feel free to go out and look at what becomes of those that don't). Again, I don't see how typing another URL to post or read about some specific subject (whatever it be) is such a major hardship. And once again, this isn't about taste, I wouldn't mind all this if it wasn't so disruptive (I say this to preempt more "just because you don't like it" blah blah, although I'm sure it'll be coming anyways, ah well), we're not talking about one or two threads here, we're talking about 95% (to go with DamienD's number, although I think it's a bit low) of all posts.
