I don't believe we are dealing with "bookburners" here. If you check the thread on Closure of Topics an explanation is given.
For the record, when I registered I agreed to the following:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>There are only four rules for participation:
1) All Topics and Posts must be related to firearms, accessories or shooting.
2) Language that would be inappropriate in the polite company of strangers is quite unwelcome here.
3) No trolling, flaming or other personal attacks, be they acrimonious or veiled in humor. If you take issue with a Member's position, by all means speak your mind. If you have a problem with a Member's religion, creed, national origin, sex, politics, associations or personal hygiene, take it to email.
4) As we can never convey a philosophy through a few rules, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to edit or delete posts and/or to revoke Membership. No Second Chances; No Argument; No Trial; No Way. At best you will receive one warning.[/quote]
I understand the need to preserve resources. I thought this particular thread on the drug war had application to firearms since it is my opinion that much of our current predicament as gunowners can be traced to the drug issue.
Having said that, I think the staff of TFL does a fine job of controlling the flow without restricting our speech. I only wish that our public forums were so fair.
