I'm just rationalizing what the mods did. I don't like one bit what the mods did, but I don't believe they were in the wrong.

I think 5 was a little bit longer than any of us 2 are on this forum. (I simply compare 5180 to 614 and 134)

I have one interesting fact - there was a swedish childrens books author - Astrid Lindgren and she wrote over 70 books and one of them "Karlsson on the roof"
"
Karlsson is a very short, very portly and overconfident man who lives on the roof of a very ordinary apartment building, on a very ordinary street in Stockholm. When Karlsson pushes a button on his stomach it starts a clever little motor with a propeller on his back allowing him to fly. Karlsson is the best at everything, at least according to himself. But there is, in fact, one thing at which he excels: being a playmate to a young boy named Lillebror (little brother) who lives in this house with his family....
"

This book is banned in USA ( banned in many libraries, not recomennded for private reading, because, Karlsson was suspecting inculcating "subversive views on babysitters."

It is in the country where thousands of new violent computer games released every year, propaganding the war with other countries and nations...

Am I far away from what happenned here ..Actually not - it is called double standards, and on one hand the messages like this can go unnoticed "Bent over Vladimir Putin and valslava" - it is OK, because it is somebody's else's president... but you can't even mention the word black in almost innocent joke...

Sad.

Read the first sentence. Decided not to read the rest.

He was banned because he had multiple infractions and one super inflammatory post set it over the top.

I'm not saying he should have been banned. I'm just rationalizing what the mods did. I don't like one bit what the mods did, but I don't believe they were in the wrong.

+1 since I´m swedish and grew up, like many other generations, with Astrid Lindgren (Pippi Longstocking amongst others) I gasp to the sad fact that she´s banned in the US. What kind of thing you have going on over there? And if qmsdc15 is banned, thats just crazy. I never saw it coming.

She's not banned in the United States. No books are banned in the United States. Some school systems don't allow some books in their school library, but that's a local thing. You can always find some kookie local school system that bans something crazy, but that's a far cry from a national book ban. I read Pippi Longstocking with my kids.

One of her books was banned and I did not say it was Peppi.
If some public municipal or state libraries or schools ban some material (and not by mistake or just "we did not hear about this book" but FOR ACTUAL REASON) we can say - it was banned in US (where else...in bangladesh?), especially knowing - they are government financed institutions.

I don't want to let this go, because it is not accurate, but I don't want to pollute this thread with politics. I intended to start a thread in P&R called Astrid Lindgren and post a link here, but I was unable to (software wouldn't let me start a thread). Can a mod help us out?
