Your action in censoring out my first response to this post gives to the
tortious/tortuous word play i used another meaning not intended at the time, but
perhaps even more appropriate in light of your subsequent expressions of
cavalier attitude towards such censorship ... specifically, the connotation of
'tortuous' as 'twisting', as opposed to my original use meaning 'circuitous', i.e.
'beating around the bush', or 'somewhat lengthy and containing numerous
oblique references in support of a dubious proposition, yet nevertheless
stimulating considerable humour'.

And 'twisting' is exactly what you're going to get when such a degree of
censorship is permitted to those with vested interests in promulgating specific
slants on ideas ... it is anathema to principles of fair debate, it is deadly to
financial discussion in which all information and perception must be entered to
ensure a full and balanced basis for analysis.

You have no more reason to delete this post than you did the first one - it
contains no personal attack, any more than the first one ... like the first one, it
addresses ideas presented by you, the thread 'chairman', and so should imho
reasonably be considered to be at least as reasonably on-topic as you yourself
are ... it contains no privacy violation, any more than did the first one ... it is not
spam, though it will be copied elsewhere to preserve it whole in the event of its
arbitrary deletion.

You have no excuse to delete either post, and doing so will not further civil
discussion, it will in fact further quite the opposite ... i am unlikely to forget this
matter, fwiw .... i refuse your conditions that i pretend to agree with you before
commenting on your ideas here ... should civil discussion spontaneously erupt
from this mess caused by your deletion, we may, or may not as the case may
be, find topics and sub-topics on which we can both disagree and agree ... who
knows, we are complex beings, it's entirely possible ... however, the way to find
out is not imho through your continued censorship of comments with which you
perceive yourself to disagree.

The way is through discussion.
