What are you talking about? Freediver ultimately makes the rules here, and whatever he doesn't want posted is thus within his jurisdiction to delete. I have always accepted this to be the case. But even despite that, you would expect that any administrator of any message-board would be in opposition to a moderator deleting posts solely because they didn't find them funny. I made that comment because I was going on Mozzaok's previous post, where he was attempting to create the impression that he removed it because he didn't find it funny. It would seem reasonable to assume that any administator of any message board would think that a moderator deleting posts for such a silly reason would not be a right thing to do. Mozzaok properly clarified (as I wanted him to) in the next post and said that he deleted it because it was offensive. That's perfectly fine and I would assume that it would be within the powers of a moderator to delete something for that reason. Hence why I don't care (though I wouldn't really care if he was allowed to remove things because he didn't find them funny either, though it would be pretty odd).

I knew he removed it was because it was offensive to begin with, but Mozzaok looked like he was trying to justify it solely on the basis of its humorous content. So I chided him on it. I'm not pontificating on free-speech here; I understand the fundamentals of this concept. This is Freediver's dominion and whatever he wants goes. That had little relevancy to the reason I made this thread to begin with, but now that everything has been explained I am satisified.

You leave those threads right where they are. Karzai threatening to join the Taliban is a very important issue, and one that should be debated on a number of levels.

Someone should post in it hunting and fishing.
