Unhappy Censorship and Tranceaddict

Here in the USA if I was to go to a mall and wear a shirt that said, hmm.. "Tiesto is an asshole" I could wear it without any problems from police. But here, if I put that "so and so TA is an asshole" in my sig it gets censored. Why is that? Is it because most mods here grew up in PC censorship oriented countries? Please tell me why I am wrong and show me the light!

Thanks guys!

Now obviously if every message that fell in those categories was removed/edited then this place could get boring - BUT - having comments on another user in your sig is both 'hateful' and 'threatening' and that's not what we're about here.

I have no idea what the circumstances are nor am I the one who touched your sig, but I agree with what they did.

Take your issues to PMs, Your sig/avatar is not a place to air dirty laundry.

Yeah I understand that this is a privately owned web-site and Swamper can do whatever he wants with it. I think I just had a "blue-Monday" today. Glad you guys like my new sig and avatar.

Thanks for the web-site Swamper.
