    I didn't violate any guidelines at all, so why was it censored? I think he also censored my "why was Berman fired" thread.

    If by some chance someone posted something on these threads that was offensive that should only result in a removal of that post alone, not the whole thread which was guideline compliant.

    I call on Russ to reinstate my posts that are completely guideline compliant. Personal bias has no room in the debates forum. Everything is controversial on the debates forum.

    Either guidelines matter or they don't. If they matter put back up my threads. I am limited to only so many threads in a given time. Censoring my threads cheats me because of those limitations. If Russ really cares about non-subscribers he will admit he acted hastily and be fair in the end.

    Censoring the politically incorrect posts on a forum openly said to contain heated debates is defeating the whole purpose of the debates forum. If that is what Russ wants he should create a "play nice debates" forum for the thin skinned.

    I have left this site for good due to all the censoring.

    And many more places are like this one now.

    It is akin to book burning, and I think we have some very dark times ahead.

    Don't let the door hit you on the top of the head as you slither out.

    Take your Russian troll buddies and Duchess64 with you.

    Can't understand that at all.

    There were over 20,000 threads, they could not all be read by moderators to painstakingly remove all offensive references. So, I imagine, that Russ just cut out threads which had a large number of posts from posters with a high likelihood of having posted something offensive.

    How will we know how "dark" these times are without you to copy paste stuff from Breitbart, Glenn Beck and others telling us?

    It isn't the censoring alone. I never complained about it when Russ was doing it to overt racists and people being vulgar, but now he has resorted to suppressing opinions he doesn't like. His own guidelines were never violated in any way.

    I'm bringing attention to the hypocrisy. Russ should bring back my "Lying Fauci" and "Why was Berman fired" threads. They didn't violate any guidelines. Either that or he should give me credits to create extra threads to compensate for what was hastily taken away.

    All I am asking for is fairness. I followed the rules.

    I saw no such offensive posts on my threads. If there were they could have been removed like many others have without deleting a thread that was completely compliant with guidelines. What was his criteria? All he has to do is explain that. If he has a reasonable explanation why does he remain silent?

    He didn't like my threads. There is no other reasonable explanation.

    Non-subs can only start X amount of threads?

    Wish I had thought of that.

    Some non-subscribers on this site are spoiled and petulant.
    Membership in a site of this caliber has actual value.

    It's truly something for which many should be thankful.

    I don't normally take advantage of the amount of threads I am allowed to post. I will now.

    If Russ was hoping to silence my views he will get the opposite unless he resorts to censoring this thread as well.
