Censorship

Why are we not free to disagree with the moderator

Because Azenilto Brito is the one being interviewed, and he is being interviewed by some one specific.

If you have/had questions for Azenilto Brito, then this is the place.

I would propose two things ....

One .... make it clear that you do not want comments on questions.

TWO .... When someone places a comment that you don't want .... remove ALL comments not just the ones that you don't agree with. Shane has left a number of comments. He removed mine but left the others.

This has more to do with "history" than with reason.

[Dr. Shane]

Two responses were made on a thread and then I posted a comment that no more posts be made in that thread until Brother Brito had a chance to respond. I deleted all the posts that were made after my comment and left the posts that were made before my comment. It had nothing to do with if I agreed or disagreed with the posts. Brother Brito is having enough trouble trying to figure out where the questions are for him to answer. He doesn't need things to be any more complicated.

After Brother Brito has made his comments, assuming he is able to come back and figure out where the questions are, anyone can make comments afterwards as long as they are not insulting or argumentative. We need to treat our guests like guests.

I beg to differ Shane. You did NOT say that no more posted comments were wanted. I will post what you actually said. Now IF you intended to stop more comments then you should have stopped access like Stan did. OR you could have been more specific about stating your intentions.

Here is what you actually said ...

Well Brother Brito is FREE to share his thoughts. I did not know that the comments of mine or others would interfer with his thoughts. If you felt this ... you should have been clear about it. Since you appear to be the boss ... you should be clear as to the rules of your censorship.

Again I will say ... AT NO TIME did you state what you have claimed to have stated. This was you only comment on the matter.

In the future I would ask that you be clear to specify your censorship policies.

Another suggestion SHANE... If you want to make things more clear for the brother .... you could have removed the one question and placed it elsewhere to make it more clear for him rather than deleting the continued comments by others including myself. It just so happened that the last two individuals were not in support of your view and this is why you deleted these two individual's posts.
