I apologize in advance for a final tirade (actually it is a polemic) but I must get this off my chest.
I’m absolutely done this time with this fucking thread since writing the painful and obvious truth, no matter how well-argued, accurate, referenced and wholly without insult or hyperbole gets your posts deleted. No argument, no refutation, no factual correction, no explanation, no nothing. For shame! There is absolutely no excuse for it whatsoever. There was no partisan attack of left vs. right, only right vs. wrong and truth vs.
deadly lies. For
shame!! You simply cannot moderate a thread of life and death matters as if it were Beatles vs. Stones and if you are unable to do so, yet then again, I say close this thread. If this is not a thread that allows differing views and civil, even if heated, argument, then it cannot practically be a thread for “useful information” either.
Doubtless this is good news to some of you so rejoice, relax and enjoy a
good tune! Good luck everyone posting in this castrated, gutless thread and dancing around the proverbial elephant in the room. I know for sure people smarter than I with similar views were wise enough to avoid this thread from the outset. Probably in this situation of arbitrary censorship this post of protest will also be deleted, but the fight continues elsewhere where it is taken seriously, while we’re all amused to death.
I guess I never thought to see this level of Orwellian Newspeak and Doublethink in my own nation and I’m still a bit in shock, so what has happened here does not sit well with me in a forum whose very title contains the words “Progressive” and “Rock”. Not much of the spirit of rock around here left Perhaps? To steal a phrase, Art is a hammer, it is not a mirror.
This may be my last post for a while or forever so remember to be passionate, fight (fight, fight the dying of the light!) for what you believe in and don’t give in to geriatric resignation and torpor and may you stay forever young!
