If you can't take it, put your head back down and blend in with the others. Post your pushup posts, your challenges and whatnot and leave the posts that are prone to conflict to others who are better suited to handle others not agreeing with them enough to leave crumbs in your weekly payout. But many of us can see at the end of the day it was never about free speech. It was about those crumbs.

That's a hell of an assumption that looks a lot more like, an excuse at best, denial at worst. You are actually under the impression that people are trying to 'make money' by posting very unpopular, against the grain, topics....
How illogical.
Maybe they would bend over an Self-Censor (as you suggest) if that were the case, but it isn't.
