Disappearing posts have less to do with censoring people's political opinions than it does with sheer bloody RUDENESS on the part of certain posters who are habitually and intentionally obnoxious.

It's interesting to note that there are those, many unfortunately right here on Mudcat, who, as long as they are sitting safely in isolation behind their computer keyboards and their anonymity, who feel free to say things that, were they to say them face-to-face to someone in the 3-D world, might result in that person grabbing them by the shirt-front, shoving them against a wall, and slapping the living snot out of them!

Cowards as well as barbarians.
