GitHub censoring content means they are not a neutral platform for hosting public repositories and they are showing their potential for becoming the next Sourceforge.

In the same way that because I punched my brother as a child I might go on to be the next Stalin.



Punching your brother doesn't make you Stalin, but it's still an action you have to apologize for, otherwise you're an asshole, hence my argument.
