Supposedly the door was open to OPINION about Katrina. I offered mine and Robert "unofficially" suggested it be moved to flame.

Opinion is only welcomed with open arms from Robert when it makes fun of Bush or some Bush appointee.

FLAME was supposed to be reserved for the flaming of posters. Unless Zod is Robert's uncle, my comments about the left were a valid opinion and flamed no HZ-er. The political left is real. Just as Bush appointees are real. Valid "opinion" posts should be able to criticize both.

This was pure and simple suppression. Don's rants about Bush being a buffoon are perfectly fine, DL's and RLs mockery of the right is fine, but my cut-to-the-quick portrayal of the left is "flame".

His little "unofficial" remarks are a crock. Frank should be ticked off as well. Either Frank's moderator or he isn't. Being "unofficially" reminded of which posts "may very likely" be conflicting with "civil discourse" is a just Robert being a buttinsky on Frank's board. Either way Frank chooses to react to such "unofficial" remarks - he loses.

Puppet moderation of the Zone, that reduce the workload on Robert, is not what zoners wanted.
