Role of the moderators

retry:

Bob intends to HALT any possible discussion on ANY topic unless HE agrees with the person posting. Note that he's deleted all topics criticizing his work.

RoadRunner,
I've considered doing that, but haven't (yet) for 2 main reasons:
1. I don't want to lend credence to Bob's assertation that I create multiple ID's and spam the board.
2. NoSUV has a long history on the board, which allows others to check previous posts to evaluate credibility.

It seems Bob doesn't care about all of the other long time posters who agree that debate is worthwhile - Bob has the power to ignore what everyone else wants.

Perhaps something similar to the petition to eliminate HOT needs to happen with others requesting Admin remove Bob's moderator privileges.

Until that happens I will continue on the current path. There are rules and they WILL be followed. There is NO CENSORSHIP based on content. This is ENFORCEMENT of rules. What part of that is not understood?

Wow!! You remind me of someone, but I j-u-s-t can't seem to put a finger on who it is! Tsk, tsk, tsk..

I was too busy to expand while ago so here I go. Keeping this site clear of junk and spam is the only way to promote the freeflow of discussion, ideas and information. Think about it. We have one person who is complaining of censorship, but that person is the one who is slinging mud all over this site on a daily basis. Which of these two people is promoting free speech? Think about it.

Unfortunately, we are not free to yell fire in a theater, nor are we free to tie up someone's computer with spam, nor sit outside of someone's house and jam their television signals.

There are harmless trolls that just have a little fun. And there are trolls whose agenda is to shut down a website. We are looking at the latter.

Well I complained about the censorship and you deleted my posts and my quotes from famous americans supporting free speech including George Washington and others. So it is NOT true you only target spammers, you target people who DISAGREE with you!!!

Bob,

In my opinion you have let this thing between you and NoSUV cloud your better judgement. You responsibility should mirror those of Sludge, GMHP and Go2Girl of only deleting true SPAM material and not ANY comments, expressions, suggestions or opinions of other registered users -- unless of course they contain racial, religious or moral slurs.

Anything more is blatant CENSORSHIP.
