[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you going to censor me again Jeff?

You did not censor people who said horrible things here when Margaret Thatcher died. And only I chided those who seem to be attached to the disreputable among us (not my exact words but i said nothing foul of offensive). For at the end of the day Marion Barry was a public figure and and deserves public scrutiny. Yet during his life time to offer scrutiny was to risk being libeled a racist by many who post here. And now in death you won't even allow the discussion. I won't play the hagiography game but if you censor this its far worse than hagiography you are playing at. This is the Political Discussion Forum Jeff, [b]please allow the discourse[/b].
[/quote]I agree wholeheartedly with Jeff.  You will eventually have your 15-minutes for vehemence but this is a day of mourning for the people who did care about Barry and your desire to vilify him at this moment says more about your character than Barry's.[/quote]

OP here; the problem is, I didn't offer any 'vehemence' nor vilification, I just refused to applaud.[/quote]No one asked you to applaud but everyone asked you to refrain from your desire to negatively scrutinize on this day of Barry's death.  The moderator was, right fully so, correct to stop your attempt to pursue negative discourse on this day of all days.

And I agree.  You will get your day in the sun but this isn't that day or the time.[/quote]
