To Brian,
Over the last couple of months your posts were the most interesting to me. But, I post here in part of largely because it is low stress; I like the rules. The site has some integrity, but if posts are removed because the poster requests it (you), then the site is diminished. Canie does us a favor to host this site. She sets the rules. It is enought trouble I assume without people causing problems. You had some nice quote about the slippery slope when you don't challenge what is not right. But, I really don't think minor censoring on this site falls under this. Maybe if it was a newspaper or whatever the modern version is. You probably saw John's post that he would welcome you back. Much as a liked your posts, as for the issue that resulted in you leaving, I really don't support you at all: it was the wrong fight to pick. If I was Canie, I'd have better things to do than discuss it. I'm not Canie.
