Disagree.

I think if you have a post cut and disagree, then go post it on
news:rec.games.chess.computer and have a shouting match over there.

Is anything we have to say really so valuable that the world can't get along
without it?  Even if the best post I have ever written gets cut, I think that I
should just live with it.  I could always post it somewhere else if I got my bun
in a knott over it.  If anything does get removed, it is sure to be for a good
reason.  Why should anyone get personally insulted over such a thing?

I don't think anyone should throw a tantrum if their post is cut.  OTOH, I don't
see why they can't say:

SUBJ: Removed post
My post titled "Why poster <x> is an ignorant puke" was cut.  Read all about it
on news:rec.games.chess.computer.

Then, anyone who wants to piss into the fire can dash over there and scream
their lungs out about it.
