This forum is not provided by the government, it is a public service provided by private individuals, the moderators have the right to control content on the forum in any way they please, and seeing as this is an electrical forum NOT a political I believe that they're just doing what they should and keeping the forum on-topic, there are a thousand political discussion forums out there, you can voice your opinion on one of those, too many forums go to pot because of offensive, stupid, uncontrolled content, and I for one am glad the mods at ECN are not allowing that to happen, unless you'd like to be called a "******* **** ****" every time you post a question
