To my mind, much the same game is being played now, and some of the present authoritarian crowd may even be the same players.

The problems you are alluding to came from two sources - the initial reaction to the events of 9/11, and the growing pains of creating a moderator system. If you look around the forum today, there isn't much moderation going on - just look at the number of Lew Rockwell and Antiwar posts in place today - so how can there be such horrific censorship? Just because some posters say these articles shouldn't be here, it doesn't mean that FR is censoring...

Yep, the last little dust up seemed to have curbed the censorship of threads, and for the last few weeks, seems to have helped in a less arbitrary policy on post removals. - Now, I'm beginning to see selective enforcement of what constitutes 'personal abuse' once again. Thus my previous post:

You forget that prior to leaving in a huff, the coven were playing their power games with the benign approval of the FR-PTB. -- To my mind, much the same game is being played now, and some of the present authoritarian crowd may even be the same players.

I wish someone would/could say it isn't so, with a explanation of why it sure looks that way. Instead of mind-numbing 'love it or leave' suggestions. - #51
