I agree, but there has to be a balance. Too much free speech and we will lose many posters because of the vitriol of political threads. This has already happened in the past during the "Wild West Days" of WIX in the past. It didn't do much good, except drive off posters. Not enough free speech and it impedes information flow and upsets people such as your self. I think the Mods did the right thing in this case. The door was cracked a little bit and it was about to burst wide open - especially given the history of some of the people involved in that thread. I applaud the Mods for killing that thread. We can still discuss the incident. Someone else start a new thread. It's no bid deal, really.
Thank you Mods, that one was going downhill very fast!
