[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Not newsworthy, huh? You can see from my posting history that I am a longtime community member, and am not a troll. I have been a helpful, informative DCUM member for decades. I am really surprised that you are suppressing info about this situation. Immediate deletion of the post about the Tufts petition, which cites 2 newspapers? Wow, I am honestly surprised. I have respected you very much over the years and this honestly stings. I have always wished you the best with this business and am hoping that you are trying to protect your business interests and not, in fact, just suppressing speech you disagree with.[/quote]

I am not suppressing anything. In fact, I wrote about the Tufts student myself in my blog post yesterday:

You started your post saying, "Hi Jeff, I know there's another thread...". That makes the post appear to be something that belongs in Website Feedback rather than the College forum. Plus, as you say, there is another thread already.

I am not sure why you are so determined to post about this incident, which is clearly a political topic, in the college forum. As I document in my blog post, students have been abducted from Tufts, Columbia, Georgetown, and the University of Alabama. Yesterday, Marco Rubio says he has revoked over 300 student visas. This is a problem that extends far beyond Tufts. There is an argument for a thread addressing how the Trump administration's attack on free speech is impacting colleges and universities, but that is different that a single thread singling out Tufts.
