To delete a whole thread is JUST PLAIN WRONG – an abuse of the “power” entrusted to “MODERATORS! As a moderator (moderator means moderation, not dictatorship) to arbitrarily ‘delete” that which you simply – don’t agree with – is NOT moderation but propagandist censorship with overtones from NAZI logic. Always remember, “A little power corrupts, total power corrupts totally”. Just my moderations worth.
“Rules of engagement” for participating within this site means something entirely different from censorship. Rules are acceptable and understood up front before joining in. Censorship is something that is slammed down with a heavy hand after the fact without prior knowledge of the mental workings of the one who decides and who then wields the axe of the censorship WITH NO RECOURSE FOR APPEAL. A moderator who CENSORS instead of MODERATES is introducing a system of “star chamber” decisions and actions, definitely not the actions of “fairness. Democracy and debate”.
