censorship, locking of threads and freedom of expression

Iain

Following from a discussion on this discussion about the way threads are locked or removed when someone if offended by the content which remain within the rules (  Why Did Number Leave This Place? ) I thought it worth having a poll to see if there in an interest in requesting a change to the way these posts are moderated.

  • Look just blame me for it. I wanted my comments removing and I couldn’t do it as I didn’t have permission so I asked the mods to do it for me. I wasn’t expecting them to lock the thread I didn’t even ask for that. I’ll send proof of my emails in screenshots if I have to! Though I would crop my email address out! I wasn’t expecting all this to happen, it’s like a volcano has erupted and it’s my fault. I wish I never voiced my views now I thought that what the forum was about. I can’t help but feel responsible but must it be rubbed in my face? If people had just understood my views of why I was uncomfortable!

    You have no reason that I can see to blame yourself. You have been open and authentic and that is wonderful thing and I understand why the thread made you feel uncomfortable, as it did me. 

    I can imagine how the backlash might be making you feel, that could be distressing in itself, and I wish we could all just move onto something else. 

    Please keep voicing your views, as what you have to say is worth contemplating.

    Thank you for your reply. As I said I should have just stayed quiet, I just felt so disturbed but I guess people can find different things disturbing. I just wanted to know I wasn’t meaning to cause all this.

    Thank you for that. Say it took me some time to come on here and I was nervous about posting for the first time but everyone made me feel so welcomed as soon as I posted so that really helped and then I commented on posts and others commented on my posts so I felt like I was belonging but I just didn’t want everyone to blame people or get angry over something. I know we are autistics and we can react differently but I just wanted to let people know I’m sorry if I had caused all this. But everyone has been so kind and supportive to me so I am feeling better now.
