How to really pee people off.

When Jenny (Alas y Cia) invited me to join Apsense, I was a little cautious because I was a bit down, health wise and I really thought that I could talk some common sense into the members of a community that I had belonged to for some time.

I'm a bit thick headed so it took me several months to learn that thug rule and predilection for spam had taken over and the community could no longer offer what had first attracted me - so I, reluctantly, joined the exodus.

In my brief time of being active at Apsense I have enjoyed some good and some humourous conversations and been welcomed with open arms by the membership.

I'm not a devious or vindictive guy but I do speak my mind and I do accept argument as a valid contribution to any relationship. Also, I expect to be playing with grown ups, people like myself with opinions and the ability to state them and defend them, if necessary. There have been many occasions when my defence of my own position has been robustly attacked and defended.

It's called agument or discussion or, even, disagreement..

It is dynamic and energetic and educational and constructive and valuable.

I have never before been censored.

I have never before seen the spiteful, purile and imbecilic censorship that I recently saw here.

Since the censor is an 'administrator' of this community and since she has not even had the common courtesy (guts) to explain her totally unacceptable behaviour, I must assume that, once again, "they are not all locked up".

Some of them are 'in charge'.

I'm off to play with the adults where teacher can't see me - behind the bike sheds.
