In response to dieseldave.
Thank for your response.
In the past numerous topics have been on ‘OLD TIME’ etc ranging from the Scottish Independence Referendum, the EU Referendum to the General Election with a whole host of others in-between. None of them were ever moved to another location.
I ask myself why this particular subject has been singled out and can only come to one conclusion, PC!
‘Some of the guys’…!
If it wasn’t for ‘Some of the Guys’ the forum would be much poorer and the content diluted, Dennis (Bewick) for example has contributed much to the ‘OLD TIME’ content and has enhanced that area.
If he and others who have contributed decide to go Trucknet will be much poorer.
You mention that ‘Bully’s Truckstop Bar’ is the place for ‘Discuss News’, I noticed that when you pulled Dennis’s original topic regarding the WLM banner it was removed to ‘Bully’s’ with no access to that area, was that to stop any discussion on the subject? I suggest it was, the reason being again PC.
Are the moderators afraid of Democracy?
It wasn’t deleted but was also not allowed to go to the top of the topics page like all the other topic’s and sat in the middle just like the Aerial Banner topic. Why is that?
Considering the matters discussed on the ‘Professional Drivers’ section of Trucknet it seems double standards apply.
The topic wasn’t deleted, it was just ‘re-directed’ without mentioning the subject or that it was being re-directed.

You say you are missing the point, the point is this, was the subject matter deemed to perhaps potentially offend your advertisers and that is why this single topic was given attention.
As to your comment about ‘How much was my last TN membership renewal’ my response is you wouldn’t dare charge for access as the site would be empty overnight.
What seems to be forgotten here is that ‘Trucknet’, like Truck & Driver’ is supposed to represent the views of Drivers past & present. That’s the Prime Reason for Trucknet being here.
Either it is or it isn’t!
