Of course not. It was a flawed system, open to abuse.

It was, but it wasnt just the politics boards that are shut.

In my opinion, shutting them has done them far more harm that what additional moderating would have. The traffic there has slowed considerably, which will affect their advertising dollar.

Anyhow, how are you going Pansi, ex Yahoo?

1) He's a pesky person, probably the same in real life as well as cyber space.
2) I'm going really well perce.

Enjoying your future trends threads too. It seems that the Americans are determined to shut anyone up that feels inclined to offer a warning on the consequences of their runaway debt, just like 2007 all over again. Smiley

Personally, I don't have a problem with people not having the same views as me, as that is simply what I would regard as a fact of life, given the different life experience that everyone has.

However, I must admit that some people can become a little hard to take, when they continue with the same dogmatic approach, which lacks logic.

All of which sounds like many a Politician or their helpers, which is where Macca (slr) comes into play.

She is quite simply boring & wrong on so many issues!

Really?
Ozpolitic hasn't deleted a single post of mine yet.
Yahoo was deleting nearly every post & thread I made.

Yahoo is still down tonight.
Maybe it's closed for the election?

Could be Bobby. Perhaps like you and like me .. their strategy is to ignore the multi blacklisted flamers and trolls who come onto a forum to stalk, harass etc.
