I've experienced some interesting censorship on this site... some deserved and some definitely not so if one expects people to play on a level field.
Yesterday I posted in the thread on Lance Armstrong's Tour de France win being nullified by the French. I felt I was careful not to make it a political post, but an historical one. That post is no longer in that thread.
I'd like to know why it was pulled and how the moderator(s) who did so can justify such action? Several posts in the thread make fun of France and the French, and they deserved what I felt was an appropriate response. It appears that the worst of the anti-French sentiment was also removed.
As far as I'm concerned, I see no valid reason for the removal of my post. The over zealousness of some moderators on this board has me questioning whether I wish to participate further. They allow obvious political posts of a "positive" nature (French bashing is acceptable?), but delete posts which may state other opinions. I have already written why I think this is quite inappropriate.
In this case I did not see my post as a political one... and still don't.
Answers please... via PM is fine.
