Why did RokJox's most recent meltdown get yanked? It can't be posted to and has disappeared from the actual list

I'm screaming censorship.

And threatening lawsuits that you have no intention of following through on is immature, ahem, RJ....

If you post up pics of yourself then you have to live with it. And Ps is a fact of life, especially when you get people P'O'd.

RJ melted down over the use of Ps to "enhance" his image, which everyone knows needs some enhancing.

I'm totally lost here, but a sucker for drama. What are Ps?

people who feel that their right to free speech is being violated on a commercial site should give a little thought to the bigger picture...

...it is not illegal or unconstitutional to censor speech on a "privately held" web site.

While it is now apparently found unconstitutional to abridge the right of the private sector to engage in political speech, it is not unconstitutional for the private sector to limit free speech in venues that they "own."

What a wonderful thing this free market is... apparently not so free.

What's really... I was going to say weird, but I think maybe "scary" is more accurate... What's really weird/scary about the whole thing is the idea that because someone has done some photoshopping and posted a semi-obscene picture of me on the internet, a prospective employer might not hire me.

Whereas, in reality, the thing that would scare away a prospective employer is the off-the-deep end ranting and threatening that I do in response.

Maybe internet forums are like gambling, or booze, or whatever. You can sit down to a card game now and then, and it makes no impact on your life. Some folks can't control the urge to gamble, and it ruins their lives. Ditto with a glass of wine with dinner for one person, and a life in the gutter for another. Maybe there are people who just should not, under any circumstances, ever log on to a public forum.
