Merli, as I hope you, and everyone else who is part of SAU would already realise, any vent or rant put in a constructive, sensible manner will be dealt with by us in a similar fashion.
There is a law of the universe known as "Entropy" which you may all well be familiar with. Eventually eveything will devolve to it's most base form. In any anonymous, open forum such as this it is almost impossible to fully control what is posted. The best we can hope to do is get the respect of all who contribute so they don't "s**t where they sleep" as it were. The pace, or even if, it turns sour is up to all of us.
If there was a "Rebel" forum started up they would face the same problems down the track. How many times have you seen it happen before??? Let's just make this one work.
As far as the removal of Posts/Threads goes it's a necessary evil. Like it or not we have to have standards. There are many reasons for this including legal, minors visiting the forums, off topic etc.
Call it Nazism, Fascism or Communism....whatever. IMHO, these are all totally inappropriate descriptions of what happens here. Anything that is posted is so trivial in the scheme of things ( by it's very nature of being on an anonymous forum) that being compared to the perpetrators of genocide and persecution just doesn't mean anything.
If you have read through this thread all this way then you probably have enough of an interest in the running of the forums to probably not part of the problem anyway.
To echo the previous sentiments, can't we all just get along???
