(The following is my opinion. Please take it as such.)

Enlil and tall_man have been reaping nodes in the UnitedStates::agenda thread. I feel that their stated reasons behind the reapings border on censorship. I understand that discussing possible motives for the Bush administration war activities has extremely little bearing on Perl. However, neither does the voluminous thread on the WTC bombings. Not much was reaped there.

Two of my nodes were reaped. I was not contacted or consulted in any way. In particular, I was not asked to tone it down or restate my positions. In particular, I am very offended by tall_man's reaping of my first post in the thread.

I have been a saint in this community for almost 2 years. I have over 1000 posts, ranging all over the place. While neither of those merits any special treatment, maybe it does merit a little consideration. Maybe even a little respect.

I am not expecting anything to come of this. I am merely registering my extreme disapproval of the methods taken.

Don't go borrowing trouble. For programmers, this means Worry only about what you need to implement.
