Meanwhile, I have been warned for deeming civil a comment arguing for an ultra- traditional view of women's role being as mothers in the home, etc.  Although I do not agree with it and don't think most people today would, there was nothing rude about it, so I would rather people had the opportunity to rebut it, than repress its very expression. 

But someone (who?) has another definition of "civility", that includes expression of certain ideas, and I may be refused access to this forum if I dare disagree. The new system isn't that different from the old one after all.

The irony is that polite expression of an ultra-(probably)religious-conservative view of women is censored as offensive on a comment board, while the same people defend the expression of an even more ultra-religious-conservative view of women through religious clothing...
