Shambles, please try to remember that this is a thread about the Licensing Act. I can't allow you to hijack threads on other subjects and use them for your campaign against "Mudcat censorship." You'll find your messages, intact, in the thread titled Is closing threads censorship. If you really feel a need to discuss new aspects of the subject of censorship, you may start a new thread - but you may have only one thread active at a time on the subject, and it will be in the "BS" section. If it is littered with copy-pastes from other threads, it will most probably be closed.
I repeat, this particular thread is about the Licensing Act. If anyone posts comments about Mudcat administration here, those messages will be moved to the "closing threads" thread.

" But perhaps you would accept that there is currently a determined attempt by the Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team to try to selectively limit these views? "

I certainly would not!

Paul - as the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team, in the above editing comment - first inserted in the long-running thread that he closed - is making no secret of this attempt and special treatment - perhaps you may wish to reconsider?

I am not asking you to agree with these attempts or not - just to accept the fact that they are being made.......
