Issues of importance which can impact on an entire community,

eg. control and censorship of a 'public' forum

should not be identified with just one individual 'malcontent'.


We all should know by now how much easier it is for 'power elites'
to retain control and strive to defend a dubious status quo
by personalising issues.

Insecure and defensive institutional elites often seek to discredit and dismiss
progressive movements for positive change
by the expedient strategy of coniving to associate 'new & better' ideas
with the 'rantings' of 'known agitators & troublemakers'.

Any others who may pose a similar threat to destabalise or potentially directly challenge
the ruling order
will be likewise publicly belittled and disrespected
as simple-minded 'easily lead followers' of the higher profile
'mad extremist revolutionary ringleaders'..

.. and you know what.. this always works nearly every time !!!!!!


Now then, you over there in the corner hiding behind your computer monitor
with your eyes shut, and your fingers in your ears
chanting "la, la, la, la,la.."


..its ok, you can safely resume scanning through the posts
to only read the ones from friends you know you can agree with..
