Thread Name: BS: Non posting of judgements week.
Subject: RE: BS: Non posting of judgements year.
As far as I can see, not one thread on the subject has produced more than a couple of positive responses to what you call censorship, whereas the number who post in support of sensible editing is large.

What would you consider that means?

What would you consider to be censorship?

What (apart from it not happening to you or you dishing it out) would you consider to be sensible editing?


It rather depends on the question that is seen to being asked. Why not start a thread (not one confined to he BS section) asking for poster's views on censorship in general or asking if they think their contributions should be censored on our forum and you will get a quite a different response. There are similar past threads and this is what I base my view on.

I think it would be wrong to base much on the very few posters names appearing again and again in this or similar threads. Other than an understandable reluctance for any poster who may agree to subject themselves to the personal judgements from these usual suspects that would appear to be seen to be justified for anyone expressing a different view on our forum.

But folk are encouraged to think here that it just a simple question of censorship or none. And that having censorship is the end of the problem....................

Censorship is just the start.
