I get messages rejected all the time. Looking back, it was for the better. I am all for freedom of speech, anti-censorship, yadda, yadda, yadda......but sometimes it just gets old. If you are not talking about politics in the first place you would not have anything to moderate. If discussions are kept on a technical nature then there would be no problems. I agree, if there is something major going on in the community that needs to be addressed then it should, but constant nit-picking and pushing agendas and opinions causes strife. I think the moderators are simply trying to keep it squelched. For most of the readers of the DML, they want to LEARN and use the DML as a TOOL and not for entertainment purposes. The opinions people have about the people who SELL parts is not as important as the parts themselves. Anyway, most of the moderators and attendees of the show including myself are about to go to dinner.....
