Censorship ? No. Organization

[JohnR77]

Censorship

On another thread I had proposed better organization in regards to posts.
See

Authorship of the Gospels of Matthew and John Sacred Scripture

Others will say, “Well, it doesn’t make any difference which Gospel was first as along as we believe that the four Gospel writers faithfully state what Jesus said and did.” But, the truth is many do not believe that. And in the real world these people pass laws restricting how we live. Non-Christians will often pass laws to pressure Christians to not live the Gospel. Some Christians deny them one of the strongest reasons for believing in the Gospels. John

I had suggested that a sub-thread, a numerous number of posts that became, in my opinion somewhat labored, partly because the two parties did not seem to agree that the other correctly understood them, or correctly responded. Perhaps feelings and frustrations on both peoples part played a role.

Overall, I like this detailed back and forth so that clarity would hopefully prevail.

In the interest of organization I suggested that this group of replies be moved to a new thread.
WITH a link from the first thread so that others could enter or observe that subject.
I believe this organization makes for better and easier reading.

I’ve certainly noticed that there are numerous and long digressions on life expectancy. I haven’t read them because the subject is of no interest to me. However, the people who posted them were acting within their rights. No censorship! Let all the posts stand as written.

This would great increase the value of this thread to future readers.

I totally disagree with your assertion that this is Censorship.
I have no problem with those posts. I am glad they expressed their views.
I just believe it easier to follow that line of thinking on another thread.
It is organization.
The posts are not deleted, only moved.

You admit you did not read all those posts.
Better organization enables better reading and reading choices.

Does anyone else falsely accuse me of censorship ?
How so ?
John

Seems you’re not talking about censorship, rather editing, by moving posts to a new topic. I agree it would be easier reading if those side conversations were on their own. In reality, it’s a massive undertaking in some cases on a moving target.

Forum rules ask users to keep on topic and start new threads when they want to change direction. Fact is that requires some amount of personal discipline and self awareness, which often does not happen.

Most users recognize that when gently pointed out, and will start a new topic, inviting the interested players.
