>>I'm sure you know what the term "little Hitler" means perfectly well.<< You are mistaken. And, I don't appreciate your comparing people who post messages on this board to Hitler, a person responsible for the assassination of millions of innocent civilians. It is comments like yours that initiated the need for moderated boards.

Jon, I in no way want to make this conversation about me or my role at iHub. Nor do these questions relate to anything to be implemented at SI. Bob doesn't even know how to change the colors here, much less the TOU or Moderator functions. <g> I want to engage you, user to user on this topic, because it is one I find interesting and it obviously is something I deal with daily. 1. Do you believe iHub and SI are open, freedom of speech places, governed by the First Amendment? Or do you see them as private communities dictated by whatever the owners put in the Terms of Use? 2. Do you have a problem with Moderated (delete and ban features) boards for off topic discussions, like politics? 3. How about for boards related directly to stocks, like INTC only? 4. How about for boards related to the stock market, but no specific stock? Like Zeev or LG boards? 5. How do you define censorship? Don't know if you'll respond, but I'd really like to get your answers to these. Or anybody else for that matter. Going to be one heckuva nice weekend in Florida. Plus, Bob gave me the whole weekend off, so I see myself riding a motorcycle somewhere that waves are crashing. MB
