if you mods want to delete this, that's fine, i understand. but i say it out loud and it needs to be said, i think.
in the thread that was recently locked there were several people who accused some of us as acting like 12 yr olds because we don't agree with their point of view. maybe those people don't realize that those of us who don't agree with them are so passionate in the way that we feel because we are frustrated at the direction we perceive things to be headed. we feel powerless to stop what we feel is the end of something we hold dear. we see something we find beautiful being destroyed. like so many other topics that have become forbidden here at news hawks, that thread was locked because people who couldn't stomach an opinion different from their own cried foul loud enough to spur a moderator into silencing an opposing viewpoint. i have a completely different opinion than those people on many subjects, one of which is who is really acting like a juvenile. i saw restraint on the part of those who disagreed. i saw none from those who purposely acted with the intent to cause a lock. for quite a while now i have watched while the moderators here have been manipulated by a few squeakers, suppressing viewpoints outside of the comfort zone occupied by a select few, all in the name of keeping the peace. this is the same kind of diplomacy that allows a mosque to be planned for ground zero. it's disgusting.
y'all can do what you want with this. i know that a few people will read it before you delete it.
