Maya,
Happy new year. I would like to bring to your attention that recently some of my posts were mysteriously deleted without any warning or advance notice. For example, today I wrote a post which went like the following: "Life without mission, calling or a higher purpose is lifeless. To live for the sake of living is like to eat for the sake of eating. Oops, sounds like I am preaching. :-)" What's wrong with a message like this? One could certainly argue about the merits (or lack thereof) of the messege, but does it warrant a complete removal??
A little while ago, my Tibet line was removed, presumably becasue I treaded a "red line" or overstepped a boundary (even though the "red line" or the boundary was never clearly defined). Admittedly, that was a controversial topic, and with a bit struggle I could still understand the rationale underlying the admin's decision. But the admin's action today is totally beyond me, utterly unfathomable. I hope the admin was not acting on a whim, without the minumum respect for a regular cafe visitor and supporter, and without the minimum regard for the spirit of free expression of ideas on a free forum. I certainly hope the cafe has not fallen into a wrong hand, but there are worrying signs suggestive of the contrary. This, if proven true, does not bode well for the future of the Cafe.
With best wishes,
Wukong

"To Maya"? for what? This funny title somehow strikes me as a "love letter" addressed to Maya, perhaps with someone's new year resolution: ))
Wukong, I haven't got a chance to read your post so I don't know what happened in which thread, but here is my new year resolution: we should not censor any posts because of opinion, but only of profanity and insult directed at other cafers, or any political wrangling that may jeopardize readers' free access to caf¨¦.

Thanks WOA. You have my high regards.
No intention to turn up the heat, but someone really needs to sweat this time, for I do not believe a messege as innocuous as that one could disappear all by itself. The only explanation is that someone was stalking me, for reason only the stalker could tell.
It's quite amazing that a low-key guy like me could attract somebody's persistent attention. Feeling like being treated as a big shot, that's something I should celebrate tonight. :-)
