There is no "those". It was my decision, based on feedback I'd received from members and earlier discussions about the preferred direction of the forum. There are other forums if you feel over moderated here. And mate, it's not censorship, it's moderation.
Thats fine but I happened to enjoy reading those threads. Wasn't that intested in posting much in them though more intrested in what peoples views are. The way i see it is you took action as you say after receiving feed back from people whom I refered to as those( the silent minority), I see it as them that were the ones that prompted the start of this thread..
I understand it was your choice to take the action but you wouldn't have without that feedback.
You say tomato I say tomarto.
What I see a bit of is, people trying to attack peoples choices and opinions too much
making it personal and I think that might have been some of the problem with those threads and thats where i would have thought moderation would have come into it, but i have a feeling you'd call that refereeing.
Just like that other thread. I questioned an item and next thing I'm under scrutiny being asked to provide scientific fact for asking a question and having an opinion based on an observation after viewing a video.
If those type of people bothered to search smittybuilt instead of starting some kind of personal attack they would've been a lot better off.
But I think that might have suited you, saved you a bit of work.
Thats where I thought some moderation would have come into.
Look forward to reading the edited version of this.
