I understand not tolerating threats and such, or personal attacks; but some threads are being deleted simply because of overzealous moderation in my opinion (or am I even allowed to say that?  )
If you disagree with someone's viewpoints, you can try to persuade them through good use of rhetoric. It still may not convince them, but it may educate them or someone else. That is the value of healthy discussion and debate...practiced in societies since the dawn of civilization...

I don't understand why you are trying to force your will on everyone. If you were fair minded, you would ask for a vote. But you are not. You just bitch and moan to everyone's discontent.
