I don't know who keeps thinking that the way to address the problem of the autocensor destroying our language is to delete posts complaining about it, but they could hardly be more wrong.

This site would censor the plays of Shakespeare, ban a classic monologue by Stanley Holloway OBE, class words on a website associated with this country's head of state, HM Queen Elizabeth II, as foul and abusive and so on.

Where's the explanation of why this is OK?

Where's the authority for telling people that much of what is in the dictionaries is wrong?

Where's the justification for removing my post? Does the lack of it confirm my suspicion that there isn't actually a rule against complaining about things which are wrong?


The thing to do is to fix the problem, not try to pretend that there isn't one.

It is painful to admit but the silly old duffer does have a good point, DIYnot are lazy with respect to this issue (and others), or some would say spineless. But they don't give a ****, so long as their advertising pennies keep trickling in. And as for them just deleting his posts on the subject that's just bizarre, what they are afraid of is a mystery.

Maybe they're just sick of him whining about every thing he doesn't agree with.

If you don't like the site, no ones forcing you to come here. Put up and shut up or bugger off else where. It's that simple.
 
@DaftPunk, the thing is we all make this site and if you don't care how it's run then maybe you should leave?
 
I love the site and how it's run. I just get a bit fed up of the perpetual whinging from a select few posters, but I just accept it and get on with my life instead of making a big fuss about it.

Stop whinging. :mrgreen:
