I admit I've been out of the loop for awhile, but I was surprised to catch so much flak from POCA officials for posting my opinion on this Forum.
I'm a fan of free and open communications.
I'm not a fan of censorship and punishment for stating an apparently dissenting opinion.
That's why I live in America.
Question, does POCA now control the editorial content of the Forum?
Will I be restricted from making future posts if I don't endorse and embrace the "company line"?
I noticed each post has the following tag "This is the DeTomaso mailing list, a free and open forum for the discussion of issues surrounding all DeTomaso automobiles. This
is an unmoderated mailing list"
Is this still true?
