Very troubling experience with another site
I'm a member of Weight Watchers and I do the online program. (I've lost 12 pounds! 10 more to go). Anyway, they have a community section where you can post. There are many forums. I post occasionally on Give Peace A Chance. However, I've had many posts yanked, very benign, gentle posts. Others have, also. We've complained, to no avail. Again, these are not wildly partisan, crazy Bush-bashing posts. Also, the trolls are allowed to run wild and take over any forum regardless of its intent. I've decided to just do the online program and abandon Give Peace A Chance. It's sad. And scary.

2. You have run afoul of the Imperial Amerikan Political Korrectness
(which makes one yearn for the old PC of Free America)

And it is spreading.

Orwell was right, his title was 17 years too early, though.

Bradbury was right in "Farenheit 451"

3. yes, congrats...
..on the Weight Watchers' part. As for the double-standard, you see it all over cyberspace, and much of the media, of course. The most tepid, barely left-of-center sentiment is branded as "radical," and hate-mongering rightwing speech is allowed to flourish...

4. I'm also doing Weight Watchers and have backed off their forums.
I posted for a while, never of the GPAC, and it does seem very pro bush.
