Obviously.

The agenda of censorship is still alive in the hearts of some.
Is this your cause dan-o, to be the anti-censorship watchdog?

Is expecting a consistency that promotes human respect and an amiable decorum just covert censorship according to your worldview?

TB ... glad you could voice an opinion on the matter.

I must surmise that your questions are rhetorical in nature.

Did you vote yet?

No. I did not want to participate in something that makes man the topical center.

Not rhetorical (see that's a direct response to poster's comment) at all.
Dan, do you believe an effort for a board's admin (or mods) to maintain a friendly decorum is censorship?

Censorship in this forum is not the agenda of admin any longer ... for quite some time now ... it was for a few of the departed ones.

Even before some of the former owners left ... it has been a waning grassroots effort from a handful of posters ...

The admins have bent over backwards in this thread to allow venting and free expression of primarily 2 posters.

They have encouraged friendly decorum since the forum's inception.

Well Dan, since as is so often the case, I must fill in your answer to a direct question (and then the repeating of that question in a subsequent post)....

I am very glad that you would never view any board's oversight efforts to curtail unfriendly or disrespectful engagement as censorship.

So, by extension, if the admin's efforts have not been censorship, it seems reasonable and consistent that any poster whose motive is to highlight their perception of unfriendly or uncomely speech, they ALSO are not seeking to censor speech.

I guess censorship is in the eyes of beholder.

If that is the motive ... and if they are consistently practicing what they are vehemently opposing.

But the matter of fact is ... is that admittedly many of these crusaders view my postings as a threat to their existence and influence.

We can disagree on the impact of those posts ... but that feeling has also been expressed in this thread ...

Just query the word "agenda" in this thread and a safe inference can be drawn.

Matter of perception ... although your argument is sound if all premises are true, albeit verbose.

I don't think it would be interesting at all.

After WWOD finished mopping the floor with Daniel a couple of times, he'd move on to literary folks like Pelathais and tbpew. Those gents would be of more interest to him.
