Why was the discussion censored? Was any offensive language used? What are the rules of TPTB who control what should be said?

Disappointed.

Disappointed.
Some discussions just don't work very well on internet forums, specially when strong memeplexes are flying.

Some examples:

911 truth
Anthropogenic global warming
Alternative views on AIDS and HIV
Religion (if believers are involved)
Feminism

I have seen issues like these turn out the worst in people.

Hi stumuz,

I was not attempting to censor the discussion, just to move it as it had become very much off-topic and was an interesting debate which merited its own thread. I hadn't realised that the "Off Topic" forum was entirely locked, preventing further replies. I'm strongly against censorship myself and would not intentionally have locked the thread.

I've fixed the settings on that forum so that registered users can reply to existing threads.

Apologies for any misunderstanding caused.

I think there are many posts relevant to this discussion that have been chopped off.

Maybe this particular discussion should be in the off - topic area anyway?
