Dealer: I wasn't aware of censorship... ...generated FROM this "Porch" until now. But it's not 'directly' censored, as is Lucretius' board ... what's that called? Oh, yes ... "moderated." So at the same time that you tout the fact that 'anyone is welcome here,' you also 'caution' that regular posters here have 'no right' to 'go anywhere else.' And if one may have the 'audacity' to do so, 'he or she' should NOT 'reference' you and your brother's Porch. Am I following that correctly so far? Other than that, what IS your point? I see that you 'congratulate' this Allan person for LEAVING THE PORCH 'gracefully?' Which evidently means you WANT HIM GONE, and are 'grateful' he 'left as a perfect gentleman?' LOL, Dealer. WHAT IN HELL DOES THAT MEAN? Besides the fact you're simply glad he's gone. Geez ... I don't know what to think ( <g> I'm sure you'll tell me), except that 'censorship' abounds not only from the medium itself, but from the self-appointed 'leaders' of these threads. Moderated or not. 'b-i-a' ###

Dealer No disrespect intended, but I cannot for the life of me understand why you responded to AllansAlis' post in the first place, and secondly why you felt you had to apologize for Bonnuss' visit there, or even go so far as to disown her as a result of it. I had a different perception of us on the Porch. Many before Bonnie have spoken up against the Clown Killers, have visited their site, and have even been jailed for their comments, and yet none of them have been reprimanded publicly for doing so. As a matter of fact, we have all rallied around their efforts and even joined in the hilarity even on those occasions when perhaps we may have overstepped the bounds of civility. Which, by the way, I don't think Bonnie has. I only post this publicly because it is in response to your post. Again, I mean no disrespect to you for your views, but merely exercise my right to express mine. Rose
