Default Censorship? Surely not.

Does this group have a hidden moderator? I am referring to the fact
that Daniel (Mins?) posting re the forthcoming arrival of his hero,
JC, has seemingly been "pulled". I can't find the relevant thread.

I disagree strongly with Daniel's religious views but he is entitled
to air them. Any moderation/suppression of his (off beat) ideas
should be handled by the membership of this group, not by some hidden/
unknown censor. Quite the best way to deal with such strange views as
espoused by Daniel is by peer pressu "Come off it Dan, I will be
ignoring you for the next four weeks before I next open one of your
postings and then see if you have appreciated just how absurd your
ideas are". Censorship by a "moderator" (whatever that means) in NOT
the way to deal with nutters.

Have I missed the thread?

I agreed with you Jack. It's the principal of freedom of speech that
matters.


So you would be happy to see this group flooded with all kinds
of spam and other off-topic nonsense, all in the name of 'free speech'?
