An accusation has been leveled claiming that I'm using my mod powers to suppress people I disagree with.

And I'm not talking comments that are in violation of the the rules (racism etc) and we're not here to debate rule violations. Just cases where I suppressed your (clearly rule compliant) opinion because I merely disagreed with it.
This is a serious allegation, so let's all stay on topic so we can get it resolved.
Look, I am a libertarian more than conservative so my views on what a "conservative" site deletes may not be terribly relevant. I believe in negative rights only, no one has "a right to" anything. We have the freedom to think as we like, speak as we like, live as we like, and to defend ourselves effectively from those who would suppress those rights. These rights have limitations and generally they are limited when we do actual harm to another. I'm not a full liber-tard in that I accept that we must live in a society where taxes and group effort are mandatory.
I support your right to your religious beliefs even if I think they are retarded, juvenile, or based on some mythical view of what the 1950s were like. I support your right to be a racist but I think that refusing to serve people in your business just because they are a different race crosses a line. I think that if, in the course of your business, you are asked to directly support a cause that your religion forbids you should be able to refuse. Wedding cakes for gay couples comes to mind. I don't think you have a right to use anyone else's property or platform to spout your ideas. Other people's property is theirs.
And all that said, a lot of the shit spouted on this site makes my skin crawl. The overt racism, the calls for violence, and the extremely disturbing posts about Jews, they all make me consider just walking away. The world may be going to shit with woke culture but if the only alternative is racists and Nazis I think I'll take a pass. If Hammy is "censoring" those opinions, then I say censor away. Any person here can create their own site with hookers and Hitler if they like, there is nothing that says the people who run this site have to facilitate your views.
