Irrelevant to this thread. Please go away unless you have some quote from someone much wiser than I.

The Shambles crusade against 'the machine' is great theatre, much enjoyed by some of us, but maybe it should be taken some place else. This thread already contains some quotation gems and will likely receive many more.

If all of The Shambles' threads have been closed by Joe Offal, open a new one. The "Gallery of Mudcat Quotations" is too good to deserve this treatment.

>Snip<

Every totalitarian regime has started with the removal of some civil rights "for the protection of the public" from a perceived, or a manufactured threat.

In each case the public has eventually been in need of protection from the regime itself.

Is this the way forward? I don't believe it is.

I vote that this thread is purged of all irrelevant to the title postings, mine included, it is being subverted by one man's paranoia.

Feeding trolls is a lot like shitting on the floor in the middle of a nice hot sauna. Sure, you can do it-- but do you feel right about it, later?

Roger, How many years will it take to sink in, that you have NO civil rights here. None of us do.

The only rights on Mudcat belong to Max.

Joe and the Clones have duties allocated by Max, which they are obviously performing to his satisfaction.

The rest of us are guests, and with the greatest respect, it ill behoves one who regularly subverts the threads of other people to complain about minor alterations to his own.

P.S. Now cut and paste another of my comments out of context as usual.

The thead that Amos refers to is the following Gallery of Mudcat Quotations.

As to the reasons why it was subject to imposed censorship and closed by some anonymous volunteer fellow poster - I will leave for you to judge.

It may have been because it was abused, by being used for a purpose for which it was not intended.

It may have been because it was abused, by being used for a purpose for which it was not intended.

Is the anonymous fellow poster responsible for the unwelcome insertion of this editing comment into my post and possibly also the one responsible for the imposed closure of the original thread wishing to make their name known and be prepared stand by their comments and actions? Like everyone else is expected and are generally prepared to do?

It MAY have been subject to imposed closure for this reason - was it in fact subject to imposed closure for this reason and who was responsible for imposing this judgement?

There would seem to be little point in closing a thread that is simply a collection contributions that can still be found in their original threads.

As the purpose for which it was used until its imposed closure was its intended use for the placing of quotations that were of note. I am not sure how that can be any form of abuse - cause it to be relegated to the B/S and now anonymously subject to imposed closure..........Perhaps this can be explained to our forum?

I reopened the thread and moved your comments here, Shambles. Feel free to quote anything you haven't quoted before. Please leave the other thread open for matters other than your ongoing discussion of Mudcat editorial policy.
Thank you.

The earlier thread was closed, I presume because it had been adulterated by rampant egoism beyond all recognition.

Sham,

Please let us have this thread back, and take your battle elsewhere. This thread is for collectible, insightful, pithy, especially well-turned, humorous or enlightening bon mots by other Mudcatters.

IF you are contemplating posting something OTHER than those, please post it in a more appropriate thread.

Amos

I moved this message and the rest of the Shambles discussion over here, and reopened the thread.

Amos, you trolled him into it, and now it's done.... next time, keep your whole mind on Barky's point, and not on winning your own point.

Rather good point Susan.

For as Amos decided to open this thread with a personal judgement of his fellow posters - and I am not sure if was indeed rampant egoism that caused our anonymous fellow poster to close the original thread - it is possibly not really very reasonable of Amos to expect other contributors to this thread not to follow the example that he has set.

I now note that Amos's opening judgement has been censored. And Susan's post to which I was replying has been deleted!

No, it was moved here to continue the ongoing discussion. Some things were moved, but nothing was deleted.

Joe please leave my posts alone and get a life?

If you had not imposed closure on the original thread Amos would have not needed to open a new one - you would have had no need to censor it and you would not have been forced to open this one again.

Dear Roger,
As I understand it, most people don't want you cluttering up yet another thread with your anti-censorship campaign. Post what you want in this thread, and stay out of the other one.
Be happy that you're tolerated as much as you are.
Thank you.

Does this qualify for a 'collectible, insightful, pithy, especially well-turned, humorous or enlightening bon mot by another Mudcatter?
