I could not find any other way of contacting you, so I hope you may forgive this thread - and if necessary remove it from the group once it has been considered.
I recognise the nature of your role on this forum is to prevent trolling, spam, etc from sullying this group and it's threads. However, I am actually a little annoyed that my post was deleted in the 'Some Education' thread. I am also unsure as to why I am even under moderation. I have been a member here for nearly 2 years. Granted, I haven't been active for the past year due to other commitments, so I am not protesting any move to moderate my posts.
However, I do feel that it was irresponsible and over zealous to so quickly remove my post which was for all intents and purposes relative and appropriate to the subject matter of that thread.
- I was careful to re-read your netiquette and guidelines before posting and I cannot see any problem with why it as removed. I sourced my quote, I did not post the whole article, only what I found to be the most provoking aspect of that article. Which is as follows.
"[...] The truly educated become conscious. They become self-aware. They do not lie to themselves. They do not pretend that fraud is moral or that corporate greed is good. They do not claim that the demands of the marketplace can morally justify the hunger of children or denial of medical care to the sick. They do not throw 6 million families from their homes as the cost of doing business. Thought is a dialogue with one's inner self. Those who think ask questions, questions those in authority do not want asked. They remember who we are, where we come from and where we should go. They remain eternally skeptical and distrustful of power. And they know that this moral independence is the only protection from the radical evil that results from collective unconsciousness. The capacity to think is the only bulwark against any centralized authority that seeks to impose mindless obedience. There is a huge difference, as Socrates understood, between teaching people what to think and teaching them how to think. Those who are endowed with a moral conscience refuse to commit crimes, even those sanctioned by the corporate state, because they do not in the end want to live with criminals—themselves.

www.truthdig.com/report/item/why_the_united_states_is_destroying_her_education_system_20110410/I am not here to sully your threads. I had coincidentally read this article not half an hour before looking into my emails and seeing this thread amidst the daily digest from this group.
All in all, I'm just dissapointed and annoyed. I didn't see need for it to be deleted. Would you mind explaining why?
Thankyou,
Æzen
