The Censor Strikes Back

QtheC has once again chosen to "save" the community.  He has removed TunnelRat's videos from the blog here at LG15Today.  People, thought this was over.  It's not..QtheC has learned nothing from everything that has transpired. That was apparent to me because he would not admit to having done anything wrong.  He won't even admit to the actions he took and instead shouts in outrage when someone calls him "names" that accurately depict his actions.  How ironic that during the stages of grief (the theme for Tunnelratatat436's videos) QtheC bargained with TR apparently to add some disclaimers to the videos. These negotiations strangely and very coincidentally took place during the time right before the "Bargaining" video was posted. First off...THAT is a form of censorship through coercion. Frankly it is sickening.  QtheC forced his will onto another person.  Apparently for a short time, that person gave in to this intimidation and posted disclaimers not only on this BLOG but on their videos on Youtube. The disclaimers in essence said,  "(These videos are of a fictional nature depicting a community's grief and are not intended to be taken as threatening to others)". Apparently TunnelRat changed his mind about these disclaimers for whatever reason and altered what was said there.  These are some of the disclaimers that he now has on the videos.  "(The videos in this series depict angry bunnies and should not be viewed as threatening to carrots.  What can we say..we are cheesy cats.) " and "(These videos may contain rapid movements which could be deemed threatening to people with IQs of 436.)"  For this change, QtheC has removed the videos from the blog.  He does this on the grounds that "{content removed due to negation by the author of the previous compromise agreement reached with the author after much discussion by the community}. He words this to make it seem like the community was involved in this compromise agreement when it was simply HIM forcing someone through coercive intimidation to alter their work. He forced someone to alter their own will to suit his own. Now that the person, that being TunnelRat, has changed their mind, QtheC has deemed it his right to remove the posts again from the blog despite the fact that it has become even MORE painfully apparent the author is no threat to the community or anyone else, though it has been shown that QtheC is indeed a threat to this community. On a side note...I find it strangely coincidental that QtheC developed outrage during the "Anger" phase and then claimed to engage in some negotiations with TunnelRat right about the time the "Bargaining" video was being posted. For those that don't know, there are believed to be 5 stages of grief: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. It's amazing that QtheC now has me at the point of depression while we wait for the next video from TunnelRat which sgoukd be "Depression". It's very odd, that these actions by QtheC have gained SO many more views for this video series than it probably ever would have, however, back to the main focus.
ModelMotion wishes for this to be an open egalitarian community and that is wonderful. What must also be recognized is that there are those individuals that are unable to co-exist within a community without infringing on the rights of others. There comes a time when individuals such as these are removed from a community in one way or another. Frankly, it is irresponsible to continue to allow an individual such as this to remain in a position of ANY power. You don't put a pedophile in charge of a day care, you don't hire a drug addict to work in a pharmacy, you don't hire a wall street CEO to oversee the country's money, you don't leave a fox to guard the hen house and you don't allow a person that thinks they know better than everyone else about what they should be exposed to to guard free speech.
