moderators) belief, I am definitely for a moderated group. I respect the
job they do and some of the decisions they have to make not only on fundraising
issues, but on whether or not it is ok to use an anatomically correct word.
It may be a thankless job, but it is something they choose to do. What I
don’t agree with is the way some posts are pulled based on personal
feelings. Here are my thoughts…<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>

font-weight:bold'>It should not be to censure a post because there is a
disagreement with someone. I thought that I was the only person getting
posts pulled until I read that others were as well. I questioned
why a group of people had the authority to choose what I can read and what I
cannot. I believed everyone on this list was intelligent enough to make
their own decisions based on the input of well-meaning members who were always
there to give advice. These are my feelings and I will leave it at that.
Thanks for listening.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>
