Subject: RE: BS: Prayer request for Iraq troops and Iraqi
No one is censoring anything here, because we don't have the power to censor threads. So your attempt to use such a loaded word--censor--to inflame the situation just reflects poorly on you.

Having a spirited discussion where people disagree is not censorship by threat. That is just plain idiotic. Of course, not surprisingly here in Mudcat, such tactics (ie accusing the people who are disagreeing with you of censorship by initimidation) are obviously the preferred tactic of last resort--what you pull out of your limited bag of tricks to try and derail the discussion by making grand inflammatory statements like you just did Susan, when it is clear you can't win people to your side through reasoned discussion.

It is clear we aren't all in agreement that the original post has anything to do with praying, for starters. I said it is military propaganda, all wrapped up in God, the family, the flag, and the mission and labelled "prayer" by the sender. Who likely is a stateside chicken hawk right wing propagandist to boot.
