There does not seem to be of an attempt on the part of our Chief Administrator and his volunteers to please anyone but themselves.

There are many people who are puzzled by the fairly recent rise all this imposed censorship action and who often post to question both its efficiency and its need. Some of them are still even brave (or foolish) enough to use their regular Mudcat name to do so, although I suspect that this may not continue much longer.   

The attempt seems only to be made to please those who complain and judge the worth of other's postings (that no one is forcing them to open and read) and who will NEVER be pleased anyway. Rather than more sensibly simply telling these posters that if they do not like the forum - they can go somwhere else

As far as I can see - no attempt is being made to please other posters, who accept the reality of a forum open to the public and like the forum to reflect this form of creation.

Perhaps our protectors could confine their imposed judgement of our worth - to only contributions above 'the line'? When asked about below 'the line' - Max once told us not to sweat the rules - as there were none.

Does a discussion forum - that consists entirely of contributions invited by its owner Max - really need such a grandly titled functionary and team of volunteers to tell us what they will allow? For what on earth is there really - for all these well-intentioned folk to do? There may be a case for someone to tidy-up certain mistakes in posts - when requested to so by the poster themselves - but what else is there to administrate on a forum that is simply a collection of posts from the public?
