Censorship in any form is evil.  I don't like a LOT of things 
that MOST people express, yet they DO and SHOULD have the right 
to express their ideas.

When I begin to censor other peoples thoughts, ideas, opinions 
and the expression of same, then sooner or later I have 
guaranteed that my OWN will eventually be forfeit.  since I'm 
not willing to give up MY freedom of expression, I cannot take 
away someone else's

The same goes for 100% anonymity and untraceability.
