End of story'

I think not Ron. Part of the story, maybe.

I have exchange messages with Martin Gibson and registered with him that I felt a few of his posts crossed 'the line'. I find the thread he started wherein he said he's going to Europe to be very offensive, and despite people saying 'if ya don't hate him then you love him and therefore are like him in every way' to be simplistic bullshit. One of those remarks was made by someone who posts her hatred of males very often. Not unlike some of Martin's less fortunate remarks. However, the point is this: That thread is filled with invective and hatred posted by 'the guy next door regular member' of Mudcat. That thread should have been deleted or many of the posts on it deleted. That hasn't happened. It serves to show that the editing of remarks will depend not on content but rather on who is being attacked and by whom. Go to the FAQ, a good missive that has been selectively quoted, and read the WHOLE paragraph on Censorship. It's under the heading "Etiquette and Advice". I guess that some folks is more equal than others.

Shambles: I realize that occasionally you can be a single-issue guy. However, until a law is passed that makes that illegal, you just keep writing and addressing what you perceive to be a problem. Many of the folks speaking against you or subjecting you to ridicule have said in the past that 'if one doesn't like a thread, all one has to do is not open it'. Physician, heal thyself.

I don't think you're gonna change jackshit here, Shambles, but no one has made it against the law to piss into the wind.
