Mark, you can have it...
After your latest fit of censorship I have decided that you can get along without me. Goodbye.

Whatever... but don`t blame it on mark. It`s not censorship; you didn`t follow the rules. If you persist in making garbage posts, like the one of that name, I see no reason why this site is erring by locking your posts. I`m sorry you can`t present your valid points in a more resonable way... but don`t pretend this isn`t your own decision. Mark forced you to do nothing.

Well, if Jimmy broke the forum rules (and he certainly did), ban him. A week, month, forever - whatever. But to delete posts/remove from thread is wrong. Yes, as the owner of the site, Mark has the ability to do this. The law is also on his side. But that doesn't make it right. Deleting someone's posts, as if they never existed, is wrong. Whilst Jimmy Trick's posts on the Jeff Briggs interview were designed to insult and inflame, they were viewpoints nonetheless. Other members should be able to view these viewpoints, regardless of the fact the owner of the site doesn't like them.

You really shouldn't direct it at MarkG... He very seldom deletes threads. Usually, he just closes them.

On the other hand, I delete threads ALL the time. And will continue to do so when I think it is the right thing to do.

So deal with it...

Mark, you'll probably never know just how grave a temptation to violate site rules - at least, I think it would be a violation - that last comment is.

Must refrain. Must...

Oh, I can well imagine.

Anyhow, I thought I'd send this little nugget I have apropos The Power of Kermit to Ming over a PM, in order to brighten his day, but there seems to be no way to attach an image to a PM, is that correct?

and jt's comments were cut and moved to this thread:

btw - I'm also curious. Who are the 1970ers? Were you guys here before Mark came up with the rating system? And what's the significance of 1970?

You know, JT, if you tell people you're leaving it would help your credibility a lot if you at least went off-line for a few hours (I've logged in half a dozen times at least since you posted this thread and you were online every single time)

Now that I read the thread I have to side with the mods, much as such a stance pains me from a theoretical point of view.

If there is any way to be more needlessly insulting and abrasive - short of "yo moma!" - I sure don't wanna see it.
