don\'t mind him, he\'s young and impressionable.
and i don\'t mean that as disrespect to you, sammie. just i\'ve been on many a music message board for the past decade and the same thing happens everytime.
a discussion gets deleted that quite frankly warrants it. this leads to the perpetual rabble rousing where someone says \'hey why do you delete that, free speech, yada yada yada.\' and they somehow equate that to communism of some sort and thinking it will lead to the oppression of the members of such internet community. this usually just annoys the administrator more, since they are already annoyed enough to delete the initial problem. which in turn leads to string of deletions, members being banned, eventually the entire board being shut down cuz quite frankly, no one wants to put up with all that when they\'ve been donating their time and money for years to host the site.
so in the best interest of the site, we should just put the whole skirmish behind us and move on since lets face it, its not that big a deal.
