You are not crazy. The lack of free expression on this website is hypocritical to the very notion of a discussion forum in the English language. While some people don't want to be offended by language, the best way to truth is through open discussion. I can agree with mods stopping personal attacks against other's personality, but not against their opinions. To edit what topics can be discussed is slap in the face to everyone on this board.

This is Dave Sperling's livelihood - well not so much this particular forum, but the whole thing, the whole Dave's ESL Cafe, is how he supports his wife and family.

I can understand why he has strict guidelines as to what should we see posted here and what shouldn't be.

Although I do share the sentiments of the general posters and feel that they should cut us some slacks at times.

And no, I am not a MOD and I don't ever want to be one, either.

Hey Mods, what's up? Please explain what was offensive about the thread?

Yours was the "Why Women Should Never Marry" thread?

Guy needs to stop prancing around with this silly "I run a website" charade and put in an honest day's work doing something manly and mindless and backbreaking. Just like Korean laws regarding blind masseuses, running websites should be made the exclusive right of women & cripples.

See, I don't really mind seeing threads taken out back and shot in the head. God knows I'd run this place like a gulag if given half a chance.

JongnoGuru.

My thread WAS, "I'll see you on Monday."

I did not post, "Why women should never marry."
Not my style.

I'll see you on Monday is gone? Shocked Why? I thought it belonged in Job-related. Might it have been moved there?

Nope. Not there. Checked the first three pages.

Why is it gone? That was my question.
