just found out my old account was deleted, not cool.
Could be the name you're using.
yeah figured i'd might as well be the destroyer of worlds him self. Seemed appealing at the time.
:-) Sure wish it were just one person. This action would be a heck of a lot easier! (the OWS site might be struggling with storage space already--I am getting messages that tell me I have to wait 54 seconds prior to making "another comment" if I write too many within a small space of time---guess I should get back to other work on this Sunday afternoon...)

Mine was too and all my posts. I asked the moderator why and got no response. Haven't argued, abused, name called, spammed and kept on topic but I get the impression that anyone who speaks reasonably and has even slightly Libertarian views is having their accounts reported to the mods...
Well thats bullshit. Im going to keep speaking my libertarian views and you should to because were right bringing these issues into the light. Delete my account ill make a new one.
Go ahead but you have been warned and it wouldn't surprise me if they are deleted again. There's an undercurrent here that is trying to stifle (and delete) any discussion that would explore left meeting right on the main issues. Just my opinion.
I've actually noticed that to. Do you think its all getting run by people behind the scenes? That would be upsetting.
Although this movement preaches an "open to all" type of philosophy, it's only reasonable that there is a core group/ team. How this translates into managing discussion boards who knows? Could just be the people drawn here too. The truth hurts and tough love doesn't go down well with everyone.
Most of these "movements" overseas can be traced back to some type of funding or support from questionable elements but people only watch the 6pm news and so .... in the end you have a lot of directionless angry people and it has to start somewhere. Right now they are focused on the easy to digest targets but the rabbit hole is very deep.
