now they have locked the demarcation thread
looks like they are censoring comment or opinions they dont like
does science have its heresies which must be silenced
just like religions silence views it dose not like

Tas,
I ask you, politely, to leave the math forum. Please stop posting any messages."
In this thread, referenced above, you were taken to task by several mathematicians for inaccuracies - We will not promulgate these errors, either.

Hi Bettybop,
There's no censorship, the threads are still there to read and you have made your point. The threads you started were descending into arguments and approaching the 'personal insults' level. This way, with the threads locked, your philosophies are still available to view, and will not become page after page of to/fro argument between people who will not reach common ground. Should this have happened, the moderators would probably have received complaints and had no choice but to
remove
the threads. (I'm basing these comments on past experience on the site).
So you see, by locking the threads they are actually avoiding censoring you.
