Just find it odd why that certain thread was deleted - when I have read pure and utter racist remarks here which have not be deleted,
Point them out and I'll delete them, even if I'm accused of mob rule.

This was a personal campaign to bring discredit on an individual.
Brought about as revenge for the individual desagreeing with PB.
Not the done thing on a civilised forum in my humble opinion.
If it was about advertising for free then PB may or may not be conected to some Newspaper group for all we know.
He does post links to many newspaper and news sites.

You may well be right but it was hardly the sort of thing that required deletion. Is censorship to be based on civility?

An uncivilized debate, nonetheless.
Is ths the rule for what cannot be posted then? Please reinstate my deleted threads forthwith.

For a person who continued to spam this forum, you talk about civility. You have no idea...

Put yourself in the position of the said indiviual.
Would you be so understanding?
What would it do to your reputation?

It will not have done any favours to the reputations of those who make money out of people emigrating to Oz, you are right there.

I hardly think it was Spam, I was making a very valid point, presumably you take your role of authority over this forum with a dash of responsibility. I just happen to be vehemently in favour of freedom of speech, call me old fashioned.

And unlike you, I'm vehemently in favour of civilized free speech.

You mean my role of responsibility with a dash of authority. You tend to get things a little mixed up, I can see.

Most publishers or journalists usually defend the right to freedom of speech as long as there are no laws broken. In fact many would go to jail over such issues.
With one BIG caveat... Unless it upsets their advertisers.

Would immigration agents upset their punters or dish out comments that put Australia in a bad light?

No they wouldn't, but don't forget who sponsors this site PB (look at the banner at the top of the page.)

That's why I reckon some of the threads are being cut.
