It seems that the less progressive leaning members here have taken it upon themselves to keep others in line. I agree with Celerity in that this kind of post is most likely intended to circumvent forum moderation standards and quiet speech. If this is not the case, let the system take care of our transgressions or petition for new terms of service or standards in applying them.
