Protection from what ArseHats? Personally I don't know why anyone would be so desperate as to conform to any censorship just to remain on a bloody internet forum. If the bloke threatened me with a ban for saying what I thought I'd simply tell the twat to poke it up his arse ! Protection from losing...

those active on both forums may well feel less freedom to express genuine opinions on HFS This seems one possible consequence.

If I'm listening to a string quartet then l want to hear the "quartet" not 2 violins, a viola, and a cello if that isn't complete :Bllocks: You fear that your honestly held preference might be considered unjustified? I would feel ashamed if anything I have written would make you feel that...
