Or it could be that Assyrians aren't used to democracy, (this being the most democratic forum ANYWHERE in Assyria)......

...really? They have people being banned and deleted and they have a school marm previewing every post before it gets on...and they call that democracy?

...a forum is a marketplace for the free exchange of ideas. That means especially the ideas YOU don't like. What's the big deal if Hitler has a forum and he allows anyone who thinks like him "free access"? This is what makes a democracy...not majority rule, but what rights are afforded to minorities, to those you don't agree with.

..Maggie runs a forum for those who agree with her. That isn't a forum. It's a message board.
