I can even draw conclusions if I like. You and nobody here can stop that. The moderators can only delete my post when they "suspect" I have personally attacked someone. I live in a free society where I can suspect anything I like. I also have the freedom to say what I suspect. People here have the freedom to tell me that they suspect anything I suspect is wrong. That's what freedom of speech is about. You can even suspect that I'm drinking if you want. But deleting a post about this is over moderating. It is supression of free speech. Please tell me how posting a suspicion about someones mental condition (alcohol induced) is a personal attack when calling someone a fraud is not a personal attack. Jim
