Seems to me like posts are removed for 'other' more political reasons quite often.
As to another 'elitist club', isn't the fact the world is at war with itself due to one group of people believing their views, beliefs, religions, society etc are better or more valid than anothers.
Everybodys view or opinion is valid providing it is not insulting or condecendingly put across. Trouble is there are a few without the vocabulary to avoid this.
