Admin has always reserved the right to delete questionable threads and last year,
I guess they reached a point of seeing a need to "Clean up" thier site. They indeed own it.
Perhaps you were much to busy to read their thread:
http://www.onepoliticalplaza.com/t-115672-1.html Part is quoted for you:
"Even though the forum rules have always stated that insults aren't allowed, I never really enforced those rules except for some extreme cases.
But it all turned into a giant pile of crap with some people seemingly competing on who can insult others the most.
Now, it's like a never-ending Jerry Springer show. Which gets boring after a while, not to mention repulsive. And I don't want a website like that."
Admin goes on to say: "As to what would be acceptable, well, it's hard to define, but here it is: if a reasonable person would be OK saying this in public, in the presence of their friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, and strangers, then it would probably be OK to post it here.
This is the new rule on OPP effective immediately.
And no more personal attacks. It seems like even tiny personal attacks eventually escalate to never-ending insults and name-calling while ruining any chance for a proper debate. Enough of dirt, ugliness, and disrespect."
And finally: "I imagine it would take some time to establish the "new normal" of what's considered acceptable on this forum and until the general atmosphere of discussion here adjusts. During that time, I'll be deleting posts, suspending accounts, and permanently banning those who just refuse to stop insulting others. The reason I created this announcement is to have a place where I can refer people when I take administrative action."
In case you missed any of their messages:
http://www.onepoliticalplaza.com/user-topic-list?usernum=2Everyone was warned back in November 2017. Even before, there were rules. Your thread may have been viewed as a duplicate, as your original thread is still available for comment.... same complaint.... just a different title:
http://www.onepoliticalplaza.com/t-125710-1.htmlWhere in the topic turned, by you, into Jewish S***ers when you wrote: "Well, you don't appear to know much about history, English stock or not. The Free Masons were a clandestine group of Jews formed to protect their s***e trading interests out of Africa during the seventeenth century. At that time, the French were the primary users of s***e labor on their Louisiana sugar cane plantations."
Their deleting the second thread only shows that Admin is reading the posts, threads, and is living up to what they said they would do.

I can only assume that the t***h seemed too much for some on this forum. I was informed by Admin that my post regarding "Jews in the s***e trade" was removed. The post that included a URL, to the Bob Livingston site, was also removed, however, that may have been a decision based on competition.
There are a few on this forum who don't take kindly to having messages posted that shows those they are aligned with, in a bad light. I was also told to stop with the insulting nicknames. That is a hoot. People on here have wished death on me, and Admin is concerned with nicknames.
Censorship is a tool of those who would rather not have others know their end game, and, unfortunately, is becoming more prevalent in the bastion of freedom, and First Amendment rights.
There are other mediums for posting one's thoughts besides this one if pressure is brought to bear on Admin to curtail my thoughts and topics. To those, if any, who complained to Admin: If the verbal exchanges expressed, have caused conversations to be relegated to the extream action of censorship because the topic was a bit distasteful, well...
