Im on a similar wavelength as sar in that, personally Id rather have to swerve the curveball posts then to commit to some form of censorship.However, blocking posters really isn't a form of censorship so much as it is just plain administration. The board(s), and Id like to point out I'm glad they do exist, are run by the Doc... so you really have to play by his rules.
I don't really agree with deleting posts when threads get out of hand, its frustrating when you've been denied your rebuttle, especially when the argument is so heated... but again, what can you do?
the Psycho- boards are a community, a space, just like a bar or a restaraunt or any group environment, it just exists electronicly... The proprietors can control the environment to an extent, but the bigger the gathering, the more difficult it is to do this.
Since I've found this board I've met a lot of great people and have gotten a lot of good information and shared a lot of stories. In effect, I sort of think of it as a Home...
And thats why the censorship, when it happens irks me, but again, so do the posts that seem out of bounds, or the ones that are solely intent on stirring things up...
In the end I think we all survive, and we'll get over all the little wrinkles in our commune, I'd just like to thank all the people I've met, you know who you are.
