It’s a comparable illustration of how something can “follow the rules,” but still be viewed as “spam.”
Even though these are honest “events,” they are bad for the network and the users.

Events are not monetary transactions. I understand your comparison I'm saying it's a bad one. Advocating for any type of censorship on bitcoin's network is extraordinarily dangerous. You set a precedent that spam is just arbitrary on our monetary network. What if Democrats start saying Republican transactions are spam? Who are you to say otherwise? Relay operators have a right to censor whoever they want. Nodes do not.
I disagree with you.
As a node runner, I have “rights” and can vote with my node. As long as my vote follows the protocol rules, you cannot take away my freedom of choice.
Further, given the scarcity of blockspace, there will always be “censorship.”
Any given transaction will be included while another is excluded.
I think I'll add that I am not pro ordinals. I'm also not against them necessarily. I think they are a net neutral and they are paying for their transactions. You are free to run your node however you would like, but again you set a dangerous precedent.
Fair enough, and I also see your point of view. “Censorship” is a slippery slope.
