This Big Brother thing is out of proportion. F_U_K_U_C_H_A_N has (I have no problem in typing his full handle) every right to be here. I too feel that every post now has another meaning, that it's no longer a greater contribution to the board, but maybe something that may offend someone or even trigger a heated discussion that will eventually be censored by FT. I haven't felt this way until now.

I know how it feels to be censored. I am a member of another board and my postings were deleted- Simply because the moderator thought it wasn't good enough for the thread. Once I got a warning for publishing an e-mail address. I also OWN my own board, and even though it's not as popular as this one, I, as the "host" and "moderator" won't disrupt the discussions, and only remove profane and perhaps illegal postings.

I WILL take a few deep breaths- Long ones. And until everything is back to normal, see you LATER.
