Censorship/Why are our posts being deleted??

joycekatherine

I don't understand why the post "Intolerance of other's views" was deleted! Don't we all have a right to voice our opinions? Most of us are adults and act accordingly. There was absolutely nothing wrong with my post and I didn't really see anything wrong with other's posts! I have to say that I resent it very much, this is a way for everyone to be heard and to work out any problems on our own. I will allow that I did not see any of the posts after mine, but to remove the whole discussion??? I don't know if this is a place that I want to be a part of, if every word we say is subject to a moderator's delete button!! I feel that most everyone handled themselves with dignity and respected the TOS and if some did not, then remove their posts, don't remove everyone's!! I am really ticked about this and it takes alot to get me there! I suppose that no one will be able to read this either, as it will undoubtedly be removed by BIG BROTHER again...this is wrong...

The only way to learn tolerance, is to be given the chance to do so...by deleting our whole discussion, we were not allowed to express ourselves and work thru the issues. And, what is the worst that could happen by allowing the thread to continue?? Nobody would be able to make it into a physical altercation, not over the internet...they were words, and I don't believe that the terms of service were violated...very perplexing to a lot of us, I'm sure...

I agree. It was surprising to see that and another one deleted. I thought it was going well. There was no cussing or abuse that I could see. I didn't see it to the end but I thought it even lightened up there towards the end.
We're all going to have different opinions and beliefs and that's ok. This is how we learn from each other by talking about all of that and sharing with each other. I honestly didn't see anything wrong with the threads that disappeared. I've seen worse, much worse. I really don't understand it either. It's disappointing as I truly think, given the chance, that we can all work things out, talk, learn from each other, and hopefully grow. It's ok to have emotions as long as we are still respectful of each other. No one should have to feel threatened by another's viewpoint or beliefs if we're secure in our own beliefs, which I know I am. Oh well, all we can do is try, right? It does make me wonder, though, what we can talk about.
