I'm all for abortion, but that's a diliberate attempt to silence critics. 

We could use another example if we wanted. Hey Trump supporters, you aren't allowed to hold rallies in D.C. anymore. We've created this special area twenty miles outside of D.C. just for you to hold rallies. Hey Atheists, you aren't allowed to picket in front of a ten commandments monument. We've created this special area seven miles away from any courthouse, monument, or government building for you to do that!

You know, this was made as a compromise to both people, where people could discuss emulation in that thread, while discussing piracy in this thread.

Right, and saying that people can't picket in front of the things they are protesting is also "a compromise". In case you didn't get a chance to read my edit...

Trying to make sure that protesters can't protest in front of the things that they are protesting is a clear free speech violation. It's nothing more than an effort to make sure that the target audience doesn't hear the message of the protesters. I should be able to post directly in that thread, just the same as a picketer should be able to picket within the vicinity of the thing they are picketing.
