And referring to all police as "uniformed thieves" certainly, in my opinion, constitutes a personal attack on those of our members who are in law enforcement and thus is a violation of forum rule #5:I also find it interesting that the first policeman where hired thugs who's job was to facilitate shaking people down for money. Isn't it interesting they, for the most part, have the same job today they did 250 years ago?
Might I suggest that, in the future, questions regarding moderator's actions be addressed in the proper forum - Rules, Comments, Complaints, and Concerns - rather than driving a thread off-topic with such concerns. If you have further comments on my decision to close the thread, please start a thread in the indicated forum.No posts that use abusive or vulgar language, particularly personal attacks on members of this forum, are allowed. We can and certainly do disagree on issues, but it is expected that we can do so in a civil manner.
