Posted this to the Rocks list as a result of the question asked:
and this is what I got back
Yeah. Good move folks. Real good. Noticed that it had been on for a few more posts as well. Ok. What I take home from this is the the administrators in that community want
- me to go away and stop writing nice articles about Rocks, and stop helping Rocks users
- to punish/censor me
Yeah. This is how to build and grow a community. Many adjectives come to mind. None of them are complementary. Folks, if you participate in this community, get introspective about this. Decide if my notes on security, or the help I have provided over the years, or the packages I have written, or the rolls I have created are worth keeping around. Let the admins know how you feel. Let me know. Unlike them, I will not censor you, even if I disagree with you. And remember, if you say something that they aren’t happy with, you too may be left on the outside. [update] 20 hours after I posted it, it went through. I guess the moderator approved. Selective moderation of a productive community member is called censorship. Just be aware it can happen to anyone who writes anything that the censors [moderators] disagree with. I heard from a few folks over the past couple of days about this as well. This says something profound.
