UALOneKPlus - point taken - I was responding purely to the link above on the thread started by Feld Spar. It was higlighting the atrocious and arguably illegal behaviour of the USA in interning without charge for seemingly an eternity a bevy of totally innocent people (many of whom the USA has admitted thus by releasing them) at Gitmo Bay in Cuba.

On that score I agree he or she has the 100% right to post the link, and I personally side entirely with that viewpoint, as IMHO innocent Australians are also interned there.

As for the other threads - you did not reference them, but if they were out of line and got locked, I feel sure there may well be more to this story - I have no idea.

I understand from an email this poster just sent me presumably due to my post above,(not guaranteeing this text is kosher, but it appears to be, based on other banning emails I have been shown from them) that the OMNI mods have now banned this poster on this basis:

"Your recent posts have irritated some members of the board, not so much by
what you want to say, but by your approach.

We encourage freedom to express one's ideas, but needless to say, your activity can be seen as suspect to some.

I am temporarily suspending your posting rights in OMNI until we have a chance to discuss this via email, and clarify any concerns that have been expresses by other members.

Could you please at least introduce yourself to us?

Which at first read sounds pretty curious grounds to me at least.

Anyway, I am in Zanzibar now, sitting in Stone Town with a large cold Kiliminjaro Beer, and will now resume my siesta, and will leave OMNI to you folks.
