I'm saying you're a hypocrite, and the entire reason you started this thread is so you can silence people who disagree with you, or more often, humiliate you.

Glenn - Kis's words may be abrasive. But what I find most ironic - is that his words are true. For it was only a short time after this post that Kis was silenced by William.

I don't consider Kis, you're wasting our time to be a formal warning. And you cite No one has been excluded here, Kis, but you're angling to be the first as a warning as well - yet it was immediately after this "warning" that Kis was silenced (Kis did not even reply to the warning).

In my view, the truth here is that Kis was silenced because he was a bit abrasive and because he is not liked. Yet his silencing was done under the guise of supposed established thread policies. As I stated in a previous post, it would be a much more honest approach if William were to state clearly that he can censor anyone he chooses - for any reason. But to say that the censorship is justified based on the vote of some secretive committee, and that the vote was based on the evaluation of some supposed thread policies - and then to have the sentencing doled out without warning or explanation - well it's an affront to anyone who believes in fairness and democratic judicial principles. It echoes too much of silencing practices employed by Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union under Stalin. Does anyone on this thread read history? Or how about Orwell?

Thanks,
-Eric
