THis is just a comment about the closing of my little 'moral standpoint' thread. Note that although the thread contained the words 'criminal behaviour' in the title (since this has been agreed by all involved, including Rupert Murdoch himself), it was not actually about criminal behaviour - it was about the moral standpoint of people who choose to use the services provided by the Murdoch empire.
This forum contains a useful cross-section of educated, intelligent people living almost exclusively in 'first world' countries. I find it interesting that so many are prepared to 'hold their nose' and pay when making a choice about who provides their entertainment.
It worries me that the thread was locked. That seems to me over-cautious. This is, after all a section which proclaims "You can post anything in here". I am broadly against censorship and feel that too often people have (or pretend to have) a very thin skin (especially if they think they can make money out of their hurt feelings).
However, as a member of this forum I am bound by the Moderator's verdict. What do others think?
