Why? If you don’t wish to engage you are free to do as you please in that regard.

I don’t really see the difference between your complaint and what certain individuals have always done on this site. Except on this occasion it is someone with whom you disagree.

The crime thread that I started is no longer viewable.
I ask the question because I don't know why that is the case.
When someone answers the question, I will know the reason and we will all know if it was censored.

Your insinuations are of no consequence.

Longer viewable because it was f***ing tedious like most of the s*** you post.

There are fundamental differences between us on the issue of censorship. What do you think I've done here?

I've ascertained that we have an individual abusing free speech to turn threads into continual long insult threads. Sure it's ok three, four, five times....but continual? It's just feeding a troll who isn't interested in real debate.

Now I could continue to engage him. However, do I wish to continually ruin threads with selfish arguments with the same bitter clown? No, not particularly.

However going back to that is a tempting option. Now you say I've been respectful lately.....well, I wouldn't say that specifically. It's more that if someone makes it plain that they don't want any knockabout then that's fair enough. However, I continue with DanH for example because he does the same.

I don't look to censor opinions that I don't like and I've heard that from many from the left on this forum.

So unlike you I'm not opposed to trolling. However I've always said that if you didn't wish to participate you could ask the individual to stop engaging you and if they continued that then that's a form of harassment. You have always had this option and I've never seen you use it. It's been used in the past and I've supported it. I could also stop posting but I've decided not to do that for this individual.

Now I've asked this guy to stop posting to me several times. He refuses to because I think he has an agenda and is bitter. When someone reaches a certain level of neurotic then what's the point.

Despite him crying about his free speech I haven't put in a complaint and I'm going to heed advice and continue to ignore him. However, if he continues to post directly to me after expressly being asked to stop several times who knows.

What we need is a block option.

Never PM'd you in my life, but it appears that as well as censorship, you can get a way with threats of violence.

You just don't like when someone points out the multiple inconsistencies in your posting.
