wait awhile and do penence and then smartin up!

Come, come now Boss, aka Gordon Gambino, a little inocuous critique shouldn't phase a wordly person like you.  If I ever do get down there (not likely- too nice here in San Franfreako) I'll take you for a one way trip around the Whitsundays.....maybe have you walk a plank or two.

Well, still cant post on DV. I think I must be perceived as a threat to the nanny state. I suppose I should feel complemented, considering the number of inane posts at that site. Thats it then...I have crossed over. This Canadian is quite happy to be living in the land of the free.

My goodness, Boss, you certainly are an unpolite uncivil type aren't you. What , prey tell, did I ever do to you to elicit such invective?

Well, well, Boss. I see you have learned to use lower case. That is an improvement.

No, I wouild agree that the forum owner should have the option to determine its raison detre. But, in the case of DV, it would appear that any and all topics are acceptable, unless they are seen to contravene Canadian hate legislation.  Now....that is a bit dicey too since there is a degree of subjectivity , or at least a law degree requirement to assertain exectly where my right to speak and the limits of the law conjoin.

Good News, America is collapsing was a typical anti USA thread. I countered it with " Good News, Canada is collapsing" followed quickly with Good News, Multiculturalism is collapsing. I suspect it may have been this latter that caused the ban.

This latter topic may appear a bity harsh and could be construed as racist, I suppose. However, I happen to feel that multiculturalism as a government policy to create national unity is questionable and a legitimate topic of debate in a free society. Apparently, not.

I attended Malaspina way back in 84, then SFU till 87, then U Vic in 96 for an M. Ed.

  Malaspina was the kicker though- small classes, interesting subjects, great instructors. Always remember going for a beer at the Six Mile after PoliSci classes with the instructor.

  Malaspina is a great insurance against dropping out at the larger University- gets you in the heavy duty study mode.

  Now I sail around San Francisco Bay on my 57 foot schooner.

  Good Luck at Malaspina, enjoy and study hard.

My God, I feel like I have gone to some sort of forum heaven. A kinder and gentler and civil forum.

  The foul language and topics on DV don't offend me. The subjectively imposed and arbitrary censorship is very offensive and, I suspect, very Canadian.

Hey, PC: Am familiar with the Island, a Metchosin boy, ex Kelsey Bay logger, now on my schooner in San Franfeako  Bay.

I think I have been banned from DV because I started a string " Good News- Canada Collapsing" in response to a particularly nasty but common string "Good News- USA Collapsing.

  It may be a technical issue. On the other hand, if it isn't, I am so glad to be living now in the USA ( San FRancisco). My fellow Canadians disappoint the hell oput of me. Creepy censorship in Canada.
