I don't know if that many more are being deleted, jim. Now say theyve been, which brings attention to it, as before they were just eliminated, altogether. Regardless, the more moderating the better, IMO. -

I suppose when you come to a free site, you are subject to post at the discretion of the author. However, the limiting of speech can be a slippery slope.

Their house, their rules.

I've been thinking the same thing.
Ditto!
I find it sadly emblematic of the mamby pamby pantywaists who can't handle reading things they don't agree with. Yes! There are many who are obnoxious on here, and I routinely ignore them, BY NOT READING IT! I DON'T NEED SOMEBODY TO PROTECT ME from getting my feelings hurt. My god! Sack up! PLEASE!
Who are these boys who need this protection???
I guess whining & playing the victim now sells in Boston? WOW! Not the Boston I grew up in! Those MEN never needed protection from reading / hearing things they didn't like!

Folks with these rules start losing visitors! They end up hanging with other pantywaists who can't handle hearing things they don't want to hear. Very small group of friends / small minded associates.
