Maybe someone can enlighten me.

I've had that happen a time or two and no idea why. I think I made an observation about the effect of tariffs on the hifi business while saying I expressed no opinion about the merits of the tariff policy. Far from the vitriolic posts that are allowed to stand.

I don't really care-its not like my posts contain essential information and I'm sure moderating this group isn't easy, but the inconsistency is obvious.

It's not the post itself, but the responses it’s going to generate. Cut it off at the pass and all that.

I’m glad the moderators are cleaning things up. I wrote them a note telling them great job. 

@newton_john BTW,   my name is not Shurley it’s Shirley! 

The current state of the country has stolen most of my joy.

The statement is about what he feels. It is vague enough to come from multiple perspectives, no? Maybe he feels the country has not headed far enough in the current direction? Maybe he’s upset about the price of Twix bars. Maybe he's worried that tariffs are too low or too high. Or that the great works of Slovenian composers are not being highlighted by music venues. Or that ketchup has gotten a bad rap. Or anything else. The notion that a member cannot express their feelings in this vague way is, well, tellingly snow-flakey.
