When I first read those articles, I thought the views expressed were
outlandish.  I gather that most of those on the net shared my opinion.

It now appears that the author may have had a better understanding
of the personalities on the net than I do, as at least one administrator
feels that stating unpopular views (or maybe just views which differ from
his own) is sufficient reason for censorship.  Perhaps we should all
reconsider the warning.
