Why take it so personal, Henry? Maybe they're just "cleaning house". It WAS a very skewed bulletinboard-like thread of propaganda.

What could they say? Maybe... "this is inappropriate, has gone on long enough, bogs down the forum, and cannot continue." If they told you, you'd probably argue... and maybe they don't want to deal with that.

Why? Is that all you've got to offer?

C'mon Henry... maybe this is an opportunity for you to get/demonstrate some broader perspective here on the forum.

What happened? What did I miss?

Yep, and I know where I'm not wanted (admittedly, it took the 2 x 4 of a locked thread to drive it home, but 'message received').

You clearly don't know what either "petulant" or "tantrum" mean.

Cheer up, Henry. It's just a slap on the wrist. Just stop playing epidemiologist for a while. There are plenty of other things to talk about. And be thankful you haven't died of Covid. I hear the morgues where I reside (Florida) are at capacity right now and hospitals are actually more dangerous than fighting the illness at home due to staff shortages and unsanitary conditions that are stemming from those shortages.

Message transmitted by the gubberment, not the people.

And as you say, under these conditions the gubberment pays the bills.

React and adapt according to the mission, as SOB will swear.

Hmmm...I don't have you pegged for a man to take such advice sitting down. The Henry I know wouldn't put up with the censorship. He'd just maybe raise the stakes.
