It would be perfectly fine to express the same sentiment, without jumping to conclusions. For example...
"I worry that this new rule will stifle the free exchange of ideas on Babble."
This was actually enacted in response to what many posters have been asking for, and I have been resisting. There has been a perception that posts are sometimes technically civil but against the spirit of the civility regulations. They objected to our being limited by the words of the guidelines. I liked being limited by the words of the guidelines. So it is not true to my motivations to state that I wanted this at all, much less for the purposes you suggest.
