Shutting down "Sterling's" thread was NOT democratic.

[Just Me]

I have to take a stand for Sterling and his concerns.

I am compelled, as an advocate for "democracy" to acknowledge "Sterling's" concern.

I object to that thread being shut down.

I object.

On edit: I will add that I OBJECT to meaningless caa caa about meaningless "commercial STUFF" being given so much more freedom over human thought and creativity and advocacy.

2. You should object in the "ask the admins" forum.

8. Why?

I thought this was a freedom-loving, democracy-loving blog.

On edit: A blog with "rules" concerning respect toward one another.

Of course, I am posting knowing that the consequence will be,...well, the AX *LOL*

4. I don't know what happened, but be aware that no message board...

that has moderators is a democracy. It is a benevolent dictatorship. If you're lucky.

9. Does this mean the USA is a message board?

5. Why was it shut down?

6. BTW, his vague wording...

gave the impression that his gripe was with the mods, but I had the feeling much of it was with DUers in general and what he perceives as a rightward tilt...

Maybe I should have in the first place but those obscure forums are dead. That is why sending 9-11 stuff their is a form of suppressing discussion IMHO. I also think moving it into the proper forum would be more reasonable that locking it if in fact the placement of the thread is the true issue.

Lets continue this discussion in the proper forum. Maybe Skinner will have a sincere and productive discussion on the matter?
