I hoped people would read at least part of it, but I doubted anyone would respond. I received one positive comment, which I appreciated.

Then my entire post vanished.

I was never contacted as to why, the post was just gone.

I suspect that action was the result of two possible things.

1. People complained to a moderator without
approaching me first with their concerns. (Very courageous)

2. The "moderator" deleted my post unilaterally without the courtesy of telling me why. (again, very
courageous)

I can't imagine how anyone involved with removing my post in that manner could think themselves worthy of respect.


Fascism?

Deleting my post was a performance of Fascism. The loudest complainers about Fascism are often the biggest purveyors of it.

Any emotional tenderfoot easily offended by opinionated posts here should try this simple strategy...

...don't read them.
I liked your post, and mentioned it in recent PMs. smile

But, I have to disagree with your last bit of advice...
I would suggest not allowing your emotions to guide your politics.
Face it, politics permeates EVERYTHING! And as John mentioned, Hitler knew that well.
