My point about asking others if they've noticed
deletions of their posts was to see how they thought/felt
about that. The thin response seems to amount to,'We're
cool with how things are done.'

There are of course many other interpretations?

The more sensible (or irresponsible - which ever way you look at it) would not try to openly discuss the issue of censorship and demonstrtate its reality, in order to ensure that others would not be so treated. Seeing how the pigs (and the baying mob)were now ordering the farm - they probably would have packed up and gone to a more honest forum. Where assurances given are seen to be honoured and the same rules apply equally to all.

The thin response is hadly surprising - given the sort of treatment that is meeted out to any poster who is brave enough to suggest that most posters here probably do deserve better and should not be subjected to bullying, double standards and hypocrisy.

In my view such things must always be challenged - wherever the cost and wherever it may be found. Especially where it is supported and encouraged - suposedly in the name of enabling 'good discussion'.
