Amen to that brother.
I can understand children being too stupid or lazy to realize that a
web-based forum owned, hosted, and managed by a corporation is going to
be moderated, censored and exploited.
I participate in one such forum--unwillingly--and although I am on
first name terms with the CEO and the rest of the senior management of
the company that operates it, I have had some of my posts deleted for
being "off message" or critical.
God help us if Twitter is the only remaining channel for uncensored,
unmoderated comment.
As you say Eric, inexplicable. But then so much is. *sigh*
