Young Matt Chinn BANNED from the CCC

UPDATE:   11PM******************************************
Young Matt Chinn has posted his comment on being banned.
It is worth reading.  See it  on GCF (goliath's colisseum forum)

7PM********************************************
Matt Chinn has made a couple of comments. As far as we know,  he has not
been told what rule he broke by his fact based arguments with Mike Hutt.
Further...Apparently Brian has not received an answer to his questions about why
YMC was banned.   Perhaps the closest we will get is "The Professor"'s post on
HT's censorship thread.   He states: (in pertinent part) as follows:

"For those who do not wish, for whatever reason, to take your complaint to one of the moderators or administrators, but who choose to complain and moan about something in the open forums on the false assumption that causing a general unrest among the members is the way to solve your personal problem or complaint, I invite you to delete your account and leave. You will not be happy here and will, in the end, have your account closed for violation of our Terms of Use. I'm sure there are other forums and/or blogs where you'd feel more comfortable.

Thanks HT for a great post about censoring those with opposing viewpoints."

Correspondent Pesty (the original)  here to bring you the news.  Matt Chinn,  one of the very few posters on the Clark County Chatter that actively pleaded the case of the Tom Galligan administration has been BANNED from posting.

We will have more on this issue later,  but time constraints at the moment limit us to giving
this information and providing a link to Matt's blog where he shows what happened.  Apparently his civilized and polite but probing dialogue with Mike Hutt (who calls himself
"Honest Mike")  was too much for either Hutt, or the Chatter administrators, or both.

Here is the link. : http://mattchinn.wordpress.com/2011/09/05/banned-from-the-clark-county-chatter-the-post-that-did-it-all/

After the weekend long discussion over publicizing Survivorquest on the CCC and related issues,  they decided
to rid themselves of Matt's always sane, intelligent and polite voice.   They may feel momentarily gratified but
I believe that they weaken themselves with such 'purges' .   Know this....ruffle the feathers of the 'powers that
be' (or Mike Hutt) and you may well find yourself banned from posting.   At GAW,  we call it  'foul'.  This is
a petty move.   It certainly gives credence to the idea often expressed that, despite protests of being an open
community forum,  the CCC is merely a Advocacy forum for the Mike Moore campaign.  Does the CCC have
PAC status? Should it?   Who have they shown  a pattern of banning?  TG supporters?  How many MM supporters have been banned?   Is the equivalent conduct of MM supporters chastened in the same way and
manner as the conduct of TG supporters?   The answers are clear for anyone who has been paying attention.

I hope the CCC will reconsider it's position and extend an apology and and invitation back to Matt.  Otherwise,  there is little reason for others to participate in their forum to actually discuss issues that face our
local community.
UPDATE:  1:30 PM LABOR DAY: *********************************

Pesty v 2.O  tried to post telling Jules Matt was banned.  His post was deleted.   I believe other posters are
being deleted and censored.  Please feel free to share your story here.  It looks like the CCC is going on a
real PURGE.    They have the URGE TO PURGE

GOLIATH SAYS:   Ironically,  I wrote this in reply to Choppergal this morning about one
hour before I found out Matt being banned:

'Sorry you had that trouble CG. And I am going to try and steer us clear of trouble with the CCC"
