42. Thats completety out of line.

If you were being suddenly alert stalked and swarmed for politely disagreeing with the general consensus, you might have to cautiously and regrettably do the same. I have seen many other posters do this, and even though I often vehemently disagree with them as well, it is a sad thing to see. It is literal self-censorship out of fear of a mob mentality, and people on both sides of our lefty divide here have felt and reacted to that fear. We should be collectively ashamed that anyone here is made to feel that way.

I have disagreed with this poster many, many times - but the brazen attempts to silence their voice are disgusting. We dont win arguments by silencing our opponents, or by censoring their thoughts from public view - we win them by countering with our own better arguments.

I saw every one of the posts that were deleted, and none had any cause to be... thats the effect of our new eggshell climate and thought police. It often seems in many ways that this place no longer tolerates dissent - its really saddening to see what we have become.
