It will have been noticed that Argo has decided to shutdown the interesting and sometimes highly amusing Amiga vs PC thread.

Now I dunno about you, but to me that's censorship and while part of a moderators job is to moderate the forums & topics to make sure things don't get out of hand, with regard to use of bad language or insults being made towards individuals. I don't agree that he should have the power to bring to end the subject on which some 360 opinions were expressed and had been viewed over 11 thousand times. (were all these folk wrong and you were the only one right Argo ?)

It's like if you held a rally in a public place and some folk didn't agree with what you were saying or were shouting louder than you and not even about the same subject on which you were speaking, would you stop the rally and storm off in a huff or would you have the courage of your convictions to carry on. I know what I would do.

I know you said "This derailed off-topic some time ago, around 15 pages back it look and going nowhere...." but is this really a good enough reason to stop folk expressing their views.

There are many threads here that have gone "off-topic" far sooner but I don't see them being locked, why...

My point is this, is it right for one person to have the power of censorship over many or has freedom of speech been dealt another blow here. It may have helped if you had given a bit more detailed and reasonable explanation for the action you have taken.

I probably won't get an answer to this or will be censored myself, but sorry, I really can't stand it when someone abuses the power of censorship.

You don't even understand the meme's you try to use. Embarassing...


On the contrary - clearly you didn't understand the meme. It's okay, I'm sure most of a.org probably doesn't play WoW.
