My friends know where they can reach me

I just got a PM from a mod telling me that a UPI-based post was not allowed because I had gotten it from a taboo website.

For anyone who cares, the offending article can be found at http://www.upi.com/SecurityTerrorism/view.php?StoryID=20060309-050008-8703r

No opportunity was given to edit the source link, just post deleted and a PM saying the source was "taboo".

That's the last straw.

Sayonara. I can be found at the group that used to be in my siggy line, before it was removed.

Hope y'all get to read this before it, too, is censored.

1. Why was this link edited anyway.

UPI is part of the Moon empire, but how many times have articles from them or the Washington Times been posted here?

2. It was a UPI source

That I picked up on a "taboo" site (I had no idea it was taboo).

There was no opportunity given for me to edit the source (it was <1 hour old), or request I repost with the UPI link as the source.
