Why take it so personal, Henry? Maybe they're just "cleaning house". It WAS a very skewed bulletinboard-like thread of propaganda.

What could they say? Maybe... "this is inappropriate, has gone on long enough, bogs down the forum, and cannot continue." If they told you, you'd probably argue... and maybe they don't want to deal with that.

Why? Is that all you've got to offer? :)

C'mon Henry... maybe this is an opportunity for you to get/demonstrate some broader perspective here on the forum.

Judging from the drama, it looks like the world is ending.

(Or maybe they figured that the forum shouldn't serve as platform for vaccine rejection)

The petulant tantrum doesn't really go with the macho, gun-toting, 'I am an island' image :?

You clearly don't know what either "petulant" or "tantrum" mean.

Oh. I see what happened. The "Not safe for anyone" thread got locked.

Cheer up, Henry. It's just a slap on the wrist. Just stop playing epidemiologist for a while. There are plenty of other things to talk about. And be thankful you haven't died of Covid. I hear the morgues where I reside (Florida) are at capacity right now and hospitals are actually more dangerous than fighting the illness at home due to staff shortages and unsanitary conditions that are stemming from those shortages.

Yep, and I know where I'm not wanted (admittedly, it took the 2 x 4 of a locked thread to drive it home, but 'message received').
Message transmitted by the gubberment, not the people.

And as you say, under these conditions the gubberment pays the bills.

React and adapt according to the mission, as SOB will swear.

That’s all right. You’re just a little high strung. What the oily Dr. Flicker would call, “female hysteria,” no doubt aware of but not broadcasting the fact that the use of both terms at once is a redundancy.

Hmmm...I don't have you pegged for a man to take such advice sitting down. The Henry I know wouldn't put up with the censorship. He'd just maybe raise the stakes.

I am adaptin': I'm goin' elsewhere. PN ain't the only port.

Not a battle I can win on this ground. And: lockin' or even deletin' the thread ain't censorship. PN runs a forum, not a nation. Like a publisher, they can decline to publish. Me: I get to go elsewhere and PN got no say as to where or what I post once I get there.

Hell, *I could start my own forum, reproduce the contents of the locked thread, and no one could tell me boo.
