Comment Censoring

[nhpharm]

In a first on this forum for me, I see that a comment of mine where I pointed out that someone was incorrect has been removed and the entire thread locked so that the incorrect information remains and there is no way to flag that the information is incorrect. I really did not feel that I was over the top with my response, but apparently someone did. Wow...I've always tried to be helpful here.

Open pontil Powell's American Liniment

I'm posting this for a buddy of mine. This was the first hole he ever dug. The story he told me is that an old civil war trench ran through his backyard. He said he dug six feet down to find the trench line and then somehow found this pit. He said there were about 6 bottles in the pit. This was...

Recently there have been some jerks here on the forum, but I tend to ignore them. Didn't know posts could be censored, and of everyone here you'd be the last I'd expect to have that happen. The nerve of people!

8 yrs military along with Dad and 4 brothers. Countless other's that payed the biggest price,did that for our freedom are wondering why they did.I certainly would NOT defend the way this country is going. VERY SAD!!!!!

Not sure I'd correlate a moderator cutting my comment on this forum to the direction the country is taking. I was just surprised to see for the first time, after over 14 years on the forum, what I felt was a pretty benign comment regarding an incorrect assertion another member made cut and the commenting locked. It's certainly their prerogative to moderate the forum as they see fit...just frustrated me a bit to see incorrect information being bandied about.

I thought I was posting about
" COMMENT CENSORING "
Not sure if you're aware, but big tech as I'm posting this is deciding what they want you to hear. (CENSORING) Maybe I'm wrong but this silly thing freedom of speech is the 1st amendment on
U.S.BILL OF RIGHTS

Maybe it should have read.
COMMENT MODERATING POST
I tend to get a little protective of the
Freedom's we have, no where else in the world has the freedom we have in the
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

This is a British-run site moderated by a couple of collectors. It's nothing to do with big tech or the 1st Amendment. It's just a moderator wanting to keep the peace. NHPharm's comment shouldn't have been deleted though. There was nothing inflammatory about it, just a factual statement. It's not your fault that he decided to have a temper tantrum and start calling you kindergarten-level insults.

This is worth repeating: Speech on this forum has nothing at all to do with Big Tech or with the First Amendment to the USA Bill of Rights.

Still, I'm disappointed. I wanted to learn more about "American" liniments.

Again the post stated "Comment CENSORING " I did Comment on the dispute that took place,not knowing what was in place to try and resolve it. I did suggest moderating them. Different than CENSORING. I'm not sure if I can find it, if I do will post it.
