Censorship? I think you're mistaken. I've only censored one post across the entire history of Tiki Central (not including spam).

I've never deleted any of your posts so no one could read them. I've never disabled your account so you can't post. I've never removed anything you've said or asked you to remove it yourself. I've never "sunk" any of your posts off of the front page so they get burried. And most importantly I have never stopped you from going away to another website and posting your thoughts there (in fact at times I encourage it!)

I have asked people not to speak on topics of war, and I've asked people to stop calling each other names, and I've asked people to go easy on newbies who post auctions.

I've asked you to stop posting about turtles.

Again, I'm sorry if this gets under your skin. I really am. A troll is a troll, and you were clearly trolling in that topic. Putting "kidding" in your post doesn't nullify that fact.

And for the record: I have no problem with censorship. It happens on every single TV network, radio station, major magazine and newspaper. And I'm not afraid of doing so here.

Perhaps you're confusing private censorship with government censorship.

I will try my best to conform and show no sign of jest.

That's the best news I've read all day! Thanks for understanding.
