I may be mistaken, but it seems a recent Entire Thread has been erased! I did look in the Archives and did not find it there. It is the thread which I began which I believe I titled "IcePack's Message to PaulatPeace & Reply" or something like that. The first post was:

Greetings,
After speaking with the Admin regarding the issues that have arisen over the past 6 months, and more recently the last couple of weeks they decided to make a very clear statement regarding their support both for the decision, and the team.
I am aware that you've seen that statement and responded to it Paul.
In addition to the previous discipline, these additional measures will be enacted effective immediately
1) PaulatPeace will have his priviledge ban expanded to a blanket 12 month priv ban for all wars / league, effective Sept 25th, 2016. The two ongoing wars have been removed, and the 2nd Contacts have received priv's for those wars (naru for RET war, Magnus for OSA war), under Admin approval. They have been CC'd here for purposes of notification, if these priv's should be assigned to someone else not under current discipline, please request a change of Priviledges here: viewtopic.php?f=441&t=133213&start=1550
2) PaulatPeace will have his CL7 medal removed per Clan Guidelines for forum / PM behavior. Any others from TOP who continue in forum will face similar consequences and lose their CL7 medal.
Notations will be made on the account for future disciplinary consideration if the continued disruption or attack on Clan Team does not stop effective immediately, per the Admin statement made in the forum. These will take place at the Admin (not Clan) level.
At this point, the Clan Team with Administrator support deems the matter closed.
After the 12 month priv ban is served, PaulatPeace will return to normal status assuming no further behavior issues / outbursts occur.
Thanks,
IcePack
and included a response from me to IcePack where I stated something to the effect that I did not wish to keep any current or past medals from this Clan Team under the current circumstances.
The post was simply the letter from IcePack to me and my short response. There was nothing incendiary or disruptive about it. There was no use of vulgarity or ugly remarks. It was simply a copy of IcePack's letter to me and my reply.
I have seen viscous, ugly posts filled with countless vulgarity and demeaning remarks allowed to remain uncensored. I have had a previous post of mine in the CL 7 removed by IcePack, for which he later apologized to me. I have had bigWham tell me
So if this is the case...then what justifiable reason could there be for censuring my statements and opinions and removing them completely?"I appreciate you do not agree with the decisions made. That is your right, and it is also your right to protest in public..."
I don't know if anyone else has had this experience or not. I know others posted in the above mentioned thread and have had their comments removed also. Please forgive me, but this type of censorship is reminiscent of communist regimes and totalitarian governments. We obviously all do not agree with each other here...but if we wish to speak our minds .... even if it criticizes those in positions of power...do we not as bigWham has said "have a right to protest in public?
Is Freedom Of Speech, a basic right recognized by all Democratic Nations and Governments, not permitted here on CC?
Sincerely,
PaulatPeace
