Respectfully HOTTUBJOE, you and I hold very different views, but isn't that what makes these forums interesting if they remain civil and respectful? My comment you replied to was "rejected" because someone flagged it. So I copied it, rearranged a few words, and correcting spelling errors, etc., pasted it above, erased the old one, and it is the same comment you replied to that was flagged! 
People employ every means to censor others, many love to personally insult others, just because they don't agree. They often do so to elevate themselves, but in truth it shows a grave flaw in character, one lacking personal discipline. Sad.
I just don't care to respond to them in kind with insults. As you well point out, I too will most likely start to refrain from civil reply, and just walk away in the future, giving only a brief explanation as to why.
Look, they restored the old comment, judge for yourself why it was flagged and "rejected"!  
Have a wonderful weekend HOTTUBJOE!
