My intent was not to censor any critique, hence why I have not tried to do so with you. It was to squash the second type of negativity which you pointed out. I believe that was also OP's point. A critique is the non-confrontational mention of a flaw or a presentation of a logical counter-argument, which you have provided. I don't see much hostility in that critique, thus I do not term it as the kind of negativity mentioned earlier.

I respectfully submit that you may have misinterpreted the intent of the pledge to report inappropriate behavior.
