George, Feel secure do you?
Say something controversial and see how long it takes you to get banned. First you might want to look back at what happened to a few of the regular posters the other day that spoke up about the steam loco repair situation in CO. and then I dare you to ask what happened to them, I didn’t see that they were saying anything that out of line. It looked to me like they had posted under assumed names to get on the site because they must had been banned already for talking about unpleasant truths, but we may never figure that out unless we talk to them. I have not seen any of their posts since, so they must be banned. I have also not heard from a few other regular posters of the past that seemed to know a lot of what was really going on and then dared to speak up, they disappeared also.
If I’m wrong where have all the descenters gone? Yes I hear the whiners and the criers, but I don’t see any useful info coming out of their mouths, all we seem to be getting these days is “what about the lettering on this” , “and the black suit on that”, who cares! Can’t we have some real important info, if sometime unpleasant, every now and then? I personally wanted to hear what those now long gone guys had to say, but I bet they will never share what they know now.
I also have not heard from any one on this site defending any of the individuals that have been banned until this comment that I am writing now, and I am disgusted with all of you. Everyone that has not yet spoken up is a coward and deserves to be bullied by the group and be banished or worse.
George why don’t you do something for all that liberty you speak of and you and I will find out what happened and tell their stories. Lets make sure what happened to those guys gets told to the whole site and we’ll let the group decide if they should get booted or banned or silenced or what ever by the site owners or not.
Liberty costs us all and its easy to let the individuals get hurt, but we should all be prepared to pay for or liberty or we should at least feel guilty about enjoying it so much when we are not paying for it I’m attempting to pay may part here, who can help me?

Scott,
I certainly appreciate your opinion and convictions Scott. That's one thing that makes this country and this forum great, we're free to express them and take into consideration those of others. Please keep on doing what you have to do and keep posting your pics. I love them. I study them often and always see details and colors I missed the last time I looked.
George
