I would like to apoligize for not being present yesterday, as I was not able to correct certain unnecessary issues which have arisen on this forum.
The solution I have come up with, required me to edit the posts of a member, named LoBro. I removed his posts, which I considered useless, and vulgar, completely unnecessary.
However, this could be considered unnecessary censor in and of itself, therefore I am informing everyone that I will NOT remove posts simply on the basis that they are controversial, therefore you can feel free to post things that might be "questionable" without fear of my abusing my power as moderator. As we are all old enough to use a computer, I am assuming that we can all judge for ourselves those things that are proper and contribute them, and keep those things to ourselves that are not worth posting.
Thanks!

That has absolutely nothing to do with censorship. That was just a loser being a huge ASS and pissing basically everyone here off with useless comments.

ShadowStar, I agree with you, vulgarity has been a bit of an issue for me, I understand one's neeeds to "express" themselves, but surly the enlish language provides adequate terminology for frustration etc.., "Cat calling" I feel should be done using more private email, instead of posting "immature" behaviour on a public forum, that was "donated" to us under some conditions. So, Bravo keep up the integrity of this forum, and thanks for a wonderful job as moderator.

ShadowStar, I feel your doing a wonderful job as moderator of this topic! I guess I was lucky, LoBro didn't enter my topic, so nothing to delete or edit from him. I did however, see it everywhere else, and, if I had the access to do it, would have edited or deleted ANYTHING that I believe Wayne wouldn't have agreed with. Anyway, keep up the good work around here!

If it dont fit, force it... if it breaks, it needed to be replaced anyway...
I haven't been on the site for several days, but after spending some time reading the innane posts from this LoBro character, all I can say is "stand tall" my friend!
There is a very big difference between censorship of controversial issues, and deleting the posts from an immature and disruptive child.
Have any of his posts had any relevance or offered any insight to anyone on this site? NO!
Don't let this trouble you. Keep up the good work!
Cheers!
