I remember being mocked for my news sources, and to repeat the same "news" now won't improve the possibility of a discussion imo. You saw it, yourself, Host. Just referencing/linking old posts in an entirely new discussion gets the topic locked down. I discuss/respond to one of your topics and the post is deleted. I ask why, and am told to take my questions/complaints to pm. That direction turned out to be pointless.
So allow me to ask you a similar question that you are asking the rest of us that frequent the Politics Forum. Why should we pursue the hope of discussion of the most important criminal conspiracy of our times, if our words are erased or censured?
And, yes. I am as mad as hell, and I will be taking Lebell's advice to bring my concerns directly to Hal.

I posted a similar statement in the thread Elphaba is addressing, but I will post a statement here as well...
We are able to see summaries of all moderating activity in threads and there have been no posts deleted in
the thread. I can't explain WHERE Elphaba's post went, but it didn't disappear due to the actions of any moderator or admin. Please let this be a reminder that if you have a concern over something, especially moderation issues, you should PM one of the other mods/admins rather than post those concerns in threads. If your concern is that you think there has been improper action by a moderator and speaking to that moderator or another one hasn't resolved your concerns, then send the PM to an admin. There is a reason Hal has put us into these positions. Of course, as is seen here, most of the time the truth is not as tantalizing as it may seem to be. Where Elphaba's post went is just as much a mystery to the mods/admins here as it is to the rest of you.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand...
