What is wrong with this comment?

LBX,

Please raise the level of discourse. Students use these boards. Please keep it clean.

A suggestion to raise the level of discourse is fine. However, censorship of comment for "inappropriate content" is wholly inappropriate. The content that is being deemed "inappropriate" is typical of what can be seen on prime time TV.

You found me out LBX. My dream job is to be a network censor. Unfortunately, I can do nothing about the airwaves so I'll just have to settle on the Net-

If that is your intent to censor content rather than just deal with "inappropriate", it would be entirely appropriate for me to make public your intent to exercise sweeping powers of censorship.

I will, of course, as a matter of course, request the SEC to investigate your pattern of censorship and see if there is a correlation between your censorship and your stock trades, and whether you are in any way profiting from your activities.

Thom Calendra, the founder of Marketwatch, if you recall, was the target of such an investigation.

He is no longer with Marketwatch and settled the SEC case with a rather large payment.

LBX, after reading your many posts, I thought you more than anyone would appreciate sarcasm. I get no pleasure in deleting comments.

I am afraid that the actions of your administration, including threats of "frag" to user's accounts, is at the least, "inappropriate" and more than likely to be unlawful.
