>I had a very interesting experience with srb just this past week. I sent in a

>Baha'is stop deferring to cultural mores and speak out firrmly against those

>issue myself if I felt so strongly about it.
>To say I was flabberghasted at this type of "moderating" was putting it mildly
>indeed. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? What IS moderating,
>anyhow...I'm beginning to think it is censorship based on the limited
