Hoss posted such a thing because he wanted to. He suspected it would be removed, although he did not expect the whole thread would be removed, just the picture which he had already removed two letters in the bad part.

The moderator notified HOSS OF THIS REMOVAL. Those notifications never came from the AMA forum "moderators???"

Now ctrout, maybe you don't understand something so please let me provide some food for your thought.

This RCU Forum is provided by a profit seeking community and therefore it is THEIR Forum, not mine or yours. It's THEIR property. They even allow some people to use it for no charge and to the best of my knowledge they do not restrict which forums a non-payer uses, the auctions and such having their own rules.

With that said RCU can darn well set any rules they so desire. IT'S THEIR PROPERTY! If you don't cater to their, RCU, property rules you will be shown the door as RCU so prescribes, like if you had a mean guest in your house moving your furniture around or sticking the silverware in his pocket, you just may have a say about such action.

Now let's look at the AMA Forum web site. The AMA is an organization funded by the membership, therefore the AMA members should have a right to speak as they please, within social limits, and each member should be treated the same. To allow hired moderators to become dictators and, without any recourse, remove posts as they do desire, kick AMA members off the forum at any whim the moderator may have, is simply just wrong. Now I have made my DVP aware of how I feel about this. He has not replied and I do not expect him to do so, but that is another story.

Hopefully, ctrout, just maybe you can now better understand the main difference from the AMA Forum and the RCU forum. If you don't then, well, I tried to give you a clue.
