Describing all past protocol improvements as a form of censorship is an odd way of thinking about protocol development.
I think it is fair because all soft forks add rules that make a previously-valid way of transacting invalid moving forward. You used to be able to publish a transaction that does X but now you can't, due to the soft fork. I don't insist that we all call things the same names, but I call that censorship. To me, all soft forks are a question of whether the new rule censors something that really blocks bitcoin from becoming better money. If it does, it's probably a good soft fork, because I want bitcoin to be the best money it can be. And if treating bitcoin like a jpeg repository becomes popular I don't think that will help bitcoin become a better money.
