h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Two days back, already "moderated."

I'd call it getting the shaft. (Moderators: I'm talking about a mine shaft and not John Shaft, 70's pop icon, so please don't moderate this post)

Now I don't want to say the moderaters are facist (Moderators: I said "don't"), but when you don't let PG stuff go, you become less of a "Moderator" and more of a "Puritin."

Free speech is becoming more and more of an issue in my country, with secret service agents and FBI agents sent to art galeries (Source: Christian Science Monitor) by a right-wing government that cheated it's citizens--mostly minorities--to gain power. Heck, by writing "I hope George Bush gets impeached," it is concievable that I could have federal agents at my door tomorrow. (Federal Agents: The quotation marks do not mean that I would ever write such a thing, at least not in public)

This is not a site for children, so why do you limit my vocabulary. I have to consider if every word I write breaks the very loosly defined "House Rules." I don't think that's fair or right. I can understand removing established "curse" words, but moderating innuendo is a tricky and potentially subversive thing.

Having said all this, I'm pretty sure you'll moderate me for trying to start a flame war.
