MD Exposing censorship

Hi fellow discussants,

  Just so you should know, Diana bounced several of my attempts to mail
to the moderated list because when didn't like the fact that I harshly
criticized Bodvar for ignoring what is written in posts, the archive and
even in Lila. I don't like censorship, but accept that it is sometimes
needed. However, I find it most offensive when the censor wants to hide
all from the audience the fact that what they receive is in fact
censored.

It makes me wonder about other posts I read on the MF list+ACE-

+AD4- Your opinion of my moderating decisions are not relevant to this
month's
+AD4- discussion. Just answer the question.

+AD4- +AD4- Hi Bo, 3WD and all,
+AD4- +AD4-
+AD4- +AD4- Last night I wrote a long reply that was rejected by the moderator
for
+AD4- +AD4- being discourteous.
+AD4- +AD4- In my original version, I harshly criticised Bo for not reading the
+AD4- +AD4- posts, the archives or even the novels properly. IMO, that criticism
+AD4- +AD4- stands and I will send Bo a copy of my original version (IMO harsh,
not
+AD4- +AD4- insulting)
+AD4- +AD4-
+AD4- +AD4- BO admits that he was being provocative:
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4APg-You have possibly noticed my effort to +ACI-smoke out+ACI-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4APg-Jonathan and Wavedave so that we - before June's over - at least
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4APg-can reach an agreement on what our disagreement is.
+AD4- +AD4-
+AD4- +AD4- Since Bo obviously expects a response, here is a modified version of
my
+AD4- +AD4- (rejected) post, toned down at the moderator's request:
+AD4- +AD4-
