Don't worry, I don't feel like a victim. Just sick of the abuse and have decided after seven years to return the favor. Kind of like a mosquito in the tent! If I am out of line .....please delete it. I honestly do appreciate this forum and have followed it daily for more than is humanly healthy. And absolutely, the very best fortunes to all! are you sophie?

Sometimes it feels good to vent, so have at it. I can only speak for myself and my views do not necessarily reflect those of all the moderators. We are volunteers who have full-time jobs. Sometimes when I login to check board activity, a thread has already gotten out of hand and the posts have changed in nature from challenging a viewpoint to personal attacks. Sometimes, when it's too late to nip it in the bud, a moderator may choose to remove the entire thread or section of a thread. It's unfortunate when the baby gets thrown out with the bath water. Perhaps one or more of your posts were "the baby" in whatever threads were removed from the board. In my opinion, the moderators here value reasoned debate vs hostile words. Sometimes there is collateral damage when we attempt to keep this forum from becoming the Wild West. You'd be making a mistake to assume I will show favor to any side in an argument. What you should expect is for mods to step in and take action whenever any board member is demeaned or ridiculed or personally attacked. That may not always happen immediately because I have job duties, just as other mods have their own job responsibilities. We do our best to make this forum a respectful place where all viewpoints may be stated. All members can help the moderators by refraining from the personal attacks. If you cannot win an argument based on merit then I recommend that you at least disagree in a civil manner or not respond at all. Good fortune all. Holdem, you dirty, filthy, so and so....

As for censorship, if you editors don't do a better job of deleting my posts I'll need to install a breathalyzer on my terminal!

[Clipped] We do our best to make this forum a respectful place where all viewpoints may be stated. All members can help the moderators by refraining from the personal attacks. If you cannot win an argument based on merit then I recommend that you at least disagree in a civil manner or not respond at all. Good fortune all. Holdem, you dirty, filthy, so and so.... babaoriley presents an excellent example of why it can be difficult at times to be a moderator. On the one hand, it would appear that he has posted a very personal attack. On the other hand, his argument actually may have some merit to it.
