I completely agree with your view of the moderators. Roughly 50% of my appends are censored by the moderators. I think the sole reason is that they simply disagree with the views that I express, even if the append does nothing more than politely complain about the selective censorship of the moderators.
In order to make this board more worthwhile, let me suggest that you repost each append that anyone posts to the ibmpension board and then not censor responses you don't agree with. Obviously, appends that use foul language or that direct personal attacks towards other participants should be dealt with, perhaps initially with a warning and then through some other means of your choosing (which I think you should make known in advance to all participants). My hope is that contributors to the ibmpension board will eventually all migrate to this board and put Kathi et. al. out of business. My personal opinion is that many of the moderators of ibmpension simply like having the power of censorship (i.e. having control over what they allow/disallow on their board) for personal reasons. Just a thought.....

zimowski,
I like your idea, however, I seem to recall that Yahoo has a rule against reposting messages from one board to another withoug permission from the author. Does anyone know for sure? I will do a little research to see if I can find the answer,

For years, this boring website routinely rips-off postings from Yahoo message boards and posts them for all to see:
All the mentions of "throat" and "crammed" are near-hilarious! I suspect her meds have worn off in White Plains! ;-)

namref and zimowski,
I have decided to try the idea and see who complains about it.

Sounds like you want global reach - global power
Why not live and let live ?

I agree. To not allow discussion about PPACA at this point is really stupid.

Not interested in global reach or power, but dislike the selective censorship of the moderators on the ibmpension board. They seem to like your appends, so you are probably not aware of how discriminatory and impartial the censorship really is.

I agree. I never understood why the ibmpension moderators approved so many posts from Don Shuper. I gave up trying to get posts approved many years ago.

Yes, it's too bad that on all bulletin boards there seems to be trolls.? I guess these folks have nothing to do but cruise around and cause discontent.? Is there a way of verifying an individual's actual IBM credentials? ?
