To anothergreatidea,

Don't you know that when you talk about the Herald and their friends, in even the slightest negative way, they will cut your post and maybe even your whole file like they did with me? Good luck getting an answer from them. I asked them several times why they cut me and nothing. I even sent them a PM and still nothing! However, if you are a young foul mouth punk, you can battle with other spouters back and forth with all kinds of vulger language and get away with it. So long as the battle is not with the Herald or it's buddies. See you soon under a new identity. No doubt they will kick me off again! Lol! What a joke!

Why is it that I put a post on here yesterday about The Herald not gettting the facts of this story before publishing it and the post is gone?
