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?

The name looks familiar, Jack but I'm thinking he posts on atheist
newsgroups. I've never seen him on USW, could you have posted this to
the wrong group?

From the headers of your article, it looks as though you are using
Google Groups. It's possible that they have been persuaded by someone
that they should delete the article from their archive, for whatever
reason. People using "traditional" news servers as their source of news
may well still be able to view the article.

I read most posts and I didn't see it.

Since this is uk.sci.weather

Sure, he's entitled to air his religious views... if he went to an
appropriate news group, or message board

Don't really think this is the place for it

If i have to get involved in religious discussion, it's going to get
real ugly real fast.
I'd rather continue to lurk on that subject

In which case (quite rightly) Google would have pulled it as spam, assuming
someone complained to them.

It didn't even make it onto my news server, which suggests their spam
filtering nipped it in the bud.

There's a time and a place for religion, usw isn't the place.

Why are you so concerned that what appears to have been
spam (I didn't get it either) has disappeared from the group?

There are plenty of places to argue about religion to your
hearts content, this isn't one of them.

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

So many dictated to, by so few !
