Well, as a long time Amnesty International member I do have problems when the freedom of speech gets limited without a really god reason. No matter how stupid an opinion is, censoring is not OK for me. Naturally that does not include opinions that are out of bounds (political, racist, criminal etc). I've been spending a lot of time writing letters to Saddam Hussein, Muhammar al-Gadaffi, Mikhail Gorbachev (i'm old) and other leaders controlling the masses by deciding which opinions are OK, trying to get political prisoners free that I in many cases did not like (weird political opinions that I now way endorse). Still - I have tried to get them free as the right to express your feelings without someone editing/deleting or suppressing them is one of the most important ingredients of a society where people respect each other - no matter how stupid or negative someone is...

Sure this is a private forum so they can do whatever they want with posts here, myself as a moderator would have locked a thread I did not like with a motivation. It's the deletion that makes me irritated as it makes me think to much of Saddam and the others controlling what people are allowed to think, without the guts to give a motivation for why some articles just "disappeared" from the newspapers when the political editor was done...

So, I would have had no problems with someone locking Tree's thread (even though I'm also tired of the bad PR management of this IP). I also feel that the waiting for SoW is not so interesting now that 4.09 has finally arrived and I'm really happy with that, especially with more patches in the pipeline. I will happily pay for 5.0 whatever it's called, and if they continue developing IL2 it would really fill the SoW hole...
