Hey TW guys:
Can you please review the various posts of mine that Karl has deleted in the "Obama bows" thread? He's really going overboard lately, as you'll see from the content of my various posts that aren't breaking any forum rules at all. He's similarly censored me at times in the Obama Birth Certificate thread as well.
Maybe if you're intent on allowing KK to continue moderating, you could at least advise him not to delete posts made by those posters he doesn't like in any of political threads in which he's participating himself unless there are obvious, clear cut, and egregious rule violations?
A classic example of this capricious and spiteful deleting was when one poster complained that the network news was not covering Obama's mistake in protocol regarding his bow, saying in part:
"Also, when stories break like this threads topic, rarely do you see much about it on the major networks. In this case I don't think any of the 3 even covered it as a mistake or improper protocol. However they are much more likely to be critical of the slip ups of Republicans".
I responded thusly:
"I don't think it's even been established that there was a mistake or improper protocol, let alone why that should merit time on the network news. The one expert cited in this thread said there is no formal protocol in this area."
KK apparently found that statement in need of censorship and would not allow me to post it. An objective review of the entire thread up until that time -- post 313 -- would show my post in reponse to that didn't even come close to breaking any rules and was perfectly legitimate. I could not imagine DD, Spencer, or any TW guy deleting that post if they had been moderating the thread themselves.
This is just one example. There are many others like it. It is a pattern with him, and I respectfully ask you to put a stop to it. Obviously, many others here feel the same way. If I insult somebody, delete it if you want. Fair enough. If I say something risque, delete it. Fair enough. But when I or any other poster expresses a legitimate viewpoint that happens to be at odds with KK's worldview, it should be allowed to stand unless it clearly violates a forum rule.
I realize this is a private message board and you guys own it and this is not a democracy and you can do as you please and all that, but it wouldn't hurt to have a little more fairness and objectivity around here when it comes to such matters.
