I was recently reading a thread where the moderator was accused of de facto censorship for banning a controversial poster. That is not fair.
Point and counter point does not mean all's fair.
In a community where participation is voluntary there should be a level a of civility, not censorship but civility.
The Pelican staff has determined the level and without their consent there is no community.
The actions/comments on the board reflect the community and standards of civility to protect the populous at large seem reasonable.
I enjoy posting here but if it becomes a haven for attack artists and hate speech I will excuse myself from the table as many have done already.
Good job Pelican, as always, you continue for offer a great space for learning, debate and reflection.
