I would like to ask the question as to why my post was deleted?
If you can give me constructive criticism or a reason, then I have no problem.
I do object strongly though to moderators who feel, or think, they have a power which is far above any other person on this forum.
Imo ... you are Moderators, more or less like a governing body, ... Which in reality, are persons there to uphold the regulations of rules and conditions upon membership of such site.
Please step in any time and correct me if I am wrong.
I do not want to create a storm in a teacup here, but, I do believe that persons using such media as this should be allowed to express their views.
I will copy here the post I originaly did and respectfully ask that it stays ... I have not broken any rules, I have not been defamatory, and, I have the utmost respect for the Mods of this site .... If you wish to make remarks ... Please say it up front.
Well, most of you would probably be thinking..."And my care factor in microns would be?"
I will try not to be the 'Idiot in search of a Village here', but I'm curious as to the sudden lock of a thread because a couple of punters were just airing their thoughts and having a slight spar.
Now don't get me wrong Mod's, I am not one for flaming or trashing others on a site and I believe you do a great job upholding your responsibilities, however, lets be a little realistic here. Don't you think it was a touch hasty of a reaction? If your finger's that twitchy on a lock button I would hate to see how quick it was on a trigger!
We do have a right to freedom of speech, unless this has changed recently, and I personally could not see any great defamatory remarks which would insult the persons in question, nor the rest of the beer swilling community.
Of course, I would understand much clearer had someone stepped in and posted a comment such as ... "Settle Petals" ... or even ... "You've had your say now lets be respectfull, Kiss and make up please".
But I guess I'm not a Mod ... Am I?
Anyways, thats just my views .... Hey, guess what ... It still is true ... Freedom of Speech is alive and kicking.
BTW ... As said ... All due respect to the Mod's
Have a nice day ..
Many thanks ... I look forward to your response
Cheers
