    Not all of us here are entitled to make a big purge..but we will surely notice and wonder why :)

    Oh no this is drifting.
    No purges no censorship.
    All welcome, just treat each other nicely and listen.

    That thread was canned for now as it had repeatedly gone way off track and reached the point of flogging a dead horse only to be re-ignited by a lack of civility repeatedly which at 14 pages was really disappointing, when there's more time we'll look at restoring and locking it or something but its past midnight here now.

    I once was stopped in Malawi for riding a bike with no helmet. I was arrested, sentenced, convicted and placed in prison by lunchtime.
    The officer who escorted me was very proud of the court process and efficiency. Without irony told me ‘proper justice system, no kangaroo court here’

    I don't think purges are censorship here, but sometimes happen. I have great trust in the Mods.

    Riding a bike without a helmet resulted in prison time rather than a fine? That seems... less than efficient since it costs the government money rather than gaining them income. How long was your sentence?

    Well I was on vacation for two weeks and evidently I missed something... I'm guessing this may have been a good thing, but I keep seeing reference to it. Oh well back to creating my post about seeing the Apollo-Soyuz capsule and the Endeavour.

    The only difference between old time gladiators compared to nowadays do is that they are today being well paid to being killed or getting severe brain damage
