Taking the Webmaster's words at face value the clear and absolute reason for the discontinuation of the Open Disscusion Forum is, was, and has been for more than a year and a half the incessent demands of many individuals who after voluntarilly taking affirmative and deliberate actions to view and sometimes participate in "Open Disscussion" that some other person (in this case a moderator) is responsible for protecting them from and emiliorating their self-infliced hurt feelings and bruised egos. Any person who has ever contacted the moderator or Webmaster and objected to or complained about anything her/she/other saw or read in the "Open Disscussion Forum" is personally and directly responsible for this sad turn of events. It is a true shame that the crybaby communications of these persons/frauds are not available for all to see and know. My bet is that many who shouted the loudest sniveled the most!

"someone must help me, I can't stand what I've done to myself (again and again)" is a malignant cancer that threaten's to overwelm the body of liberty for all.

Contemporary political conflict is simply a clear manifestation of this condition. The failure of the "Open Forum Disscusion" is a localized manifestation. Good luck to all, vote like it matters!
