Once again I have had my reply without notice or discussion deleted/removed from a topic.

As a form of protest I refuse to participate any futher on this forum group.

PeterM.

Well, I suppose that's a better form of protest than burning your house down then climbing onto the neighbours roof and refusing to come down.

Pity we won't get to see you RS project thread finished. I, for one, was enjoying the read.

If thats all it takes to upset you its a miracle you lasted this long.

Hi Fordsy and PJ,

It is unfair to have my replies that I can support by documentation and educated fact to be deleted by moderators who feel they know better.

It is there Forum is it not?

Agreed, absolutely.

They can keep their forum, and their bias.

I have removed as much of my personal information from the forum as I can in the time I have.

Peter, If your see this, Sorry to hear your out. I understand your upset about this issue. From what i can see this is about the ANZAC thread. To slightly disagree with you, Anzac day, to me isn't to remember a certain war or certain time in military history, it is to remember the servicemen/women who gave their lives for our country, and to show appreciation for those who are serving our country now.
Not everyone has the same opinion/ideas on things but that's what life is about.
I hope that this can can be sorted out and you stay on the forum because i, and i would have to say, a lot of others feel you have valuable input to this forum. The end of the day this is a car forum. So let's not let an issue, that's not even car related, effect it.

To the moderators/administrators, As an ex-serviceman (Navy), who has returned from 'active service'(Iraq), I feel i have the right to speak out on this issue and I was not offended by anything Peter said, it is always interesting to hear others opinions. Please respond.

Open for other opinions.

Regards, Richo

Peter, if the comments had to go, they had to go...it is that simple. I can say with confidence that if a mod has seen fit to remove them, they shouldnt have been posted to begin with. Im sure you will do what you will do moving forward, hopefully that involves staying on board with an understanding of what goes and what doesnt

I did not read what PeterM posted, so I don't know why a moderator intervened.

Just for my education, where are the powers of a moderator stated on this forum?

I'm curious because unless there was something blasphemous, defamatory or the like in PeterM's post, the Australian Constitution guarantees freedom of speech.

"I'm curious because unless there was something blasphemous, defamatory or the like in PeterM's post, the Australian Constitution guarantees freedom of speech."

Whilst it is true that the constitution allows for free speech it does not say that you can say whatever you like on a privately owned and run forum or bulletin board. If you owned the forums or bulletin board then, as you suggest, you could say whatever you liked within the bounds of the law.

This point has no reflection on what Peter said, or did not say, as I didn't see it but the forum owner and his/her delegates certainly have veto over what is allowed on these private forums.

Not knowing what was posted I won't comment aside from saying I haven't seen much in the way of moderation on these forums so I am guessing someone definately thought it was warranted in this case.
