I am not saying they shouldn't be, but this thread has got me thinking and I think they are both the same thing. Am I mistaken?

I don't think you are at all mistaken.
How about this theoretical situation: I am going to start a web site stating that I want people to kill person X. I am going to post times and locations X may be alone and post pictures of where X goes, suggested scenerios of how to do it and get away with it, etc. I am then going to post the best ways to do it (drug allergies, illnesses that could be triggered like an asthma attack). I will then state that I will give $50,000 to anyone that kills X. I hope nobody censors my site. Because then there would be a slippery slope, and where would that end?
