More "Censurship" at the Early 911S Registry

http://d240157.u39.zeonhost.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3763

I guess the Administration at the Early 911S Registry just didn't like my idea of putting the R Gruppe Decals on my toilette seat lid. I can't imagine why? It after all would be putting them to good use......

Censor or Censure? Maybe you're getting senile

It's a sensitive subject, but we can be sensible about it.

Just my 2 cents

Tabs, what could you have possibly said about Ian Morton's car "two years ago which was far more molesting"? Must have been really heinous if he remembers it two years later! Enquiring minds want to know?

they even tell you where you can and cant put the sticker? sounds very pre-war germany to me. i see a black market r-gruppe sticker in my future. my design will be with the R backwards like toys-r-us.

the only club i know of that is this serious is the one under the seat of my car. its a wood club.

you must have struck a nerve, whatever you said. I'll bet Mr. Morten knows where that thread is...

At the moment I am of two minds...One is just to blow off that the Registry deleted what I wrote, due to it's priggishness and the other is to contribute a major rant on the subject.

At this point in time the R Gruppe Registry, and I call it that, because so many Registry members have become R Gruppe members that the difference is hard to tell. The members largely fall into three catagories. The first is that they are bemused by the fact that I still can ochrestrate such a reaction...and being deleted is sure one he11 of a reaction. Two they get angry and respond or have put me on the ignore list and three they are wary of getting caught and or fustrated and have decided to not respond.

I thought the juxta postion of using a R Gruppe Decal on a toilette seat lid vs it's intended use was quiet funny. However I knew and posted in a further response in that thread "that the R Gruppe member would feel angry at his feelings being so disrespected by his Gruppe's decal being put to such use. That such a response would show a lack of a sense of humor, and that the R Gruppe should grow up."

So you see that most of what I wrote in my posts in that thread were rather tame...and perhaps what really angered the Administration at the Registry is not the fact that I was disrespecting the R Gruppe but I WAS TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT THEM, AND THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

Also it has occured to me after the fact that I am entering into a new dichotomy with the R Gruppe Registry...one in which all I have to do is post and they become angry regardless of what it is that I post. A kind of Pavlov's Dog effect if you will.

All I can really say is that to be censored is unrefutable PROOF that what I write has an effect on the reader, which cannot be ignored. I am begining to feel like Boris Pasternak or Andre Solzhenitsyn.
