I think that Mark was using the word about moderated news-groups such as net.announce, which he probably gets some flak about, being the moderator, and therefore feels a little sensitive about, while Piet was using the word in a different sense, as a euphemism for censorship applied by employers preventing employees from giving their personal opinions over the net.
