Huh? I've never seen it that way... have felt no discrimination whatsoever... in fact of all the online communities, I've felt most welcome here.
Also, I disagree with your assessment of IHUB and enforcement of the rules... it's a tough job and I don't always agree with every little thing, but overall, I think Matt does an outstanding job here. I've never seen a poster booted for an honest negative opinion. I've even seen people brutally criticize Matt as admin and they didn't get booted for that either. If anything, I think there are times when I felt he was too lenient.
Hello LaVerne: We do live in a free country, but not on this internet website. I believe that if you are around for a while that you will come to appreciate this site more. The regulation that these guys put in place are what makes this a more civil site compared to the other sites many of us migrated from. I see it the same way as making a choice to live in a sub-division (with certain regulations in place for the good of all) or in an unrestricted area. With a paid membership there is several boards such as 'The Parking Lot' where anyone can express their differences as long as there is not a violation of TOS. Hang aroung and give it a chance, i believe you will come to appreciate it. Good luck ~ shao
