All very nice and all.... But, but, but.... None of this is a reasonable, nor plausible explanation for the thread disappearing. I'm sorry, but I don't have any confidence that administration, or a global mod, whomever doesn't have a hand in it. There was nothing against the TOS in that thread, and if an individual has remove it, then that's censorship. Why not assume it's a glitch until you have information that says otherwise? Man, what ever happen to innocent before guilty. Why can't this be an innocent mistake and not some evil mod or admin doing something. To the best of my knowledge a mod or admin has done nothing. As mook can attest to, when posts are edited, etc. we all let each other know about it in the staff. As of yet, I have heard nothing. If you don't believe me, ask mook, if you trust her.

Babysis and kee. When the N/A shows like that, it typically means someone has had their hand on it...it COULD have been a mistake, as I have hit modify on others posts, but backed up without changing anything in current events before...the extra buttons can throw you on ocpkmtyolcion. At Greg's board, a mod accidentally erased an entire FORUM! LOL So, it APPEARS that SOMEONE did do something...however, what is still at question is if it was a mistake (in which case, they might not even realize they did it...they might not have noticed...) or it could have been intentional (whether for some TOS violation or whatever..) in which case no one has claimed it yet. I have only received two responses to the question so far, though, Kee...so we will see if one of the other mods has any clue... BUT in the meantime, since it seems that no one intentionally removed it, and therefore reposting the link shouldn't be a problem...here is that link you wanted to his book: www.chebucto.ns.ca/Culture/Showcase/Stories2/kawohl1_transcendentalism1_novel.htmlI believe any other links are at the bottom of the page there if you wanted more info.

Fear? A feeling of inferiority and/or insecurity that another philosophy or ideology makes a lot more sense than one's own beliefs? Doubt and lack of faith? Censorship = suppression = controlling the pkmtyolmes. Precisely what the early church did to change Christianity from what it was into what it is. Whoah!! Why are you attacking the Christian Church? And why are you attacking censorship? If it helps to reduce the incidence of violent crime, murder and rape, then that is surely no bad thing. Ask yourself this: is it right to promote evil in the minds of young people? Andy.

Ask yourself this: is it right to promote evil in the minds of young people? Andy. First, there is no such thing as "evil". Believe in it if you wish. It is only real for you and those that believe in it. Second, I cannot think of a single instance where censorship has ever prevented these things that you speak of. I know that you would like to think otherwise, since Christians seem fond of pointing everywhere else for "blame". However, blaming music, movies, TV, books, or any other "media" for violent crime, murder, and rape is a folly. All of these things are brought on by the same thing: fear. Third, I am not sure how what Kee said was an attack on any church. Care to elaborate?

Evil is real. It's only imaginary to those who believe it isn't real.

Ask yourself this: is it right to promote evil in the minds of young people? Andy. Andy, First, how does allowing something to be said (and typically with the chance to dispute it, if we are speaking a FREE society...aka, no censorship) equate to PROMOTING whatever that idea is (or as you put it, EVIL) Second, what exactly are you finding EVIL about anything that would have been included in the thread in question? How was Kkawohl promoting "violent crime, murder and rape" or how was "censoring" his thread "reducing" the above? Do you even know what the topic of his thread WAS? If you need a reference to determine how to best answer the second question, I posted his link above, and he didn't say a SINGLE thing that isn't included in that link.... I cannot wait to hear what is so "evil" about the topic in question, and how it somehow encourages "evil." Thanks.

Kurt, I am SO glad to see you are still here! Just so you know, we are in the process of moving to Oregon (YIPPEE) and are selling EVERYTHING here and flying out next Saturday (Jan 10) so I will be getting only a LITTLE bit of time to work on this now, but will have PLENTY of time in Oregon to get through it. Just wanted you to know... BTW, where are you from?

Since you asked, I'll copy my bio from my book.
Kurt Kawohl was born on 14th August 1941 in Kantweinen, Germany, which is now located in Lithuania and lies in the eastern Europe, on the coast of the Baltic Sea. In the north Lithuania borders with Latvia, in the east and south with Byelorussia, in the south-west with Poland and with the Kaliningrad region of the Russian Federation.
Lithuania was independent between the two World Wars, was considered a part of Germany from 1940 to 1941 and then annexed by the USSR at the end of 1941. On March 11, 1990 Lithuania became the first of the Soviet republics to declare its independence, but this proclamation was not generally recognized until September of 1991 (following the abortive coup in Moscow). The last Russian troops withdrew in 1993. Lithuania subsequently has restructured its economy for eventual integration into Western European institutions.
In 1944 the Kawohl family along with many Lithuanians who resisted Russian occupation fled to Germany. In 1950 the Kawohl family immigrated to the USA and lived in Chicago, Illinois.
After graduating from Chicago Vocational High School where Kurt completed a two year course in Aircraft Power Plant Mechanics, he along with his brother and cousin joined the US Army in 1960. Upon completing his Basic Training in Fort Leonard Woods, Missouri, Kurt was stationed in Kitzingen, Germany where he met the girl of his dreams, married her and now after 41 years is still together with her and more in love than ever with his beautiful German wife Inge.
Kurt now resides in California and is a California Licensed Real Estate Broker. He has two beautiful married daughters and three grandchildren who live nearby.
He and his wife have a very close relationship with their children and grandchildren. Kurt's oldest daughter and his son-in-law, the husband from the younger daughter, are licensed Real Estate Sales agents under his broker license.
"I have been truly blessed" Kurt remarks, "God's inspirations and blessings are available to all who seek them. Our lives may come with many bumps and bruises but we should always look forward towards a major goal that we want to achieve and strive to attain it "One day at a time".

Prove it Evil can not exist without mankind. It is a force that was created and sustained by mankind. Eliminate mankind and you eliminate evil.
