This false utopia-seeking mission might suit the younger, more impressionable and idealistic members of the foum who 'just want it all to go away', but it is a little patronising to the rest of us - and probably more likely to leave a nasty aftertaste about the whole thing.

However while it smacks of Nazi book burning, the overall 'look' of the forum is obviously more important to the administrators than lack of censorship, so we will have to accept it - at least the original title of this thread has regained its significance.

This thread will soon be closed...We decided to leave it here to let people know what happened, and to allow anyone else who may have been affected by this to tell their story...So, the only posts that now MATTER in this thread, will be posts that pertain to what happened...It was shortened to make it more 'to the point' for anyone who may want (need) this information...Nothing important was removed...Posts that were editted, were editted to remove quotes from posts (or comments toward posts) that are no longer here, so that the context would make sense...

It was decided that we would do THIS, rather than delete the ENTIRE thread (which is also, well within our rights)...No one's voice was stifled...No one's opinion was stymied

Not ONE person's comments were removed because of something they said, or an opinion they had...Editting is NOT 'censoring'...Ever see any 'cut scenes' in a movie?...They are usually removed because they are deemed unnecessary, not because they are considered 'offensive' to anyone


I'll remind everyone, one more time...We do not lock the doors here...If you don't like the way we do things here...You can leave
