You make it sound as if this was another go at censorship and as if Big Mick had posted something wrong then.

Do you not consider that all imposed closures of threads is NOT a form of censorship?

What I said was perfectly factual. I simply quoted what was said and pointed out that despite this statement - the thread in question had in fact been shut down and that you would now be unable to contribute to it (unless you PMd our Chief Administrator and asked him nicely if he would be kind enough to re-open it for you).

Whatever the various unspecified reasons that may have caused its eventual demise - the important fact is that this particular parrot is now dead.

However, I suspect that in the view of many of us - the fact this and other threads are closed - could be viewed as a form of imposed censorship action - even if this action was set to be an automatic one.
