Why was my political question regarding leonard peltier removed from forum?
I posted a political question earlier about Leonard Peltier and after less than six hours it was removed. Is this censorship?
If you asked the question in the question and answer section and not in the forums, it might have been removed for many reasons. Primarily we see questions removed in the question and answer section but not normally in the forums. Sometimes questions are removed because they more of a discussion, poll, etc. If the question was removed from a forum, then I would check with the help desk for further explanation. If the question was removed from the question and answer section.. .I would just start a forum post about the question. I would encourage you to continue with your question/topic because Leonard Peltier is someone everyone should know about... One of the draw back of questions is that people can only answer them once... I hope this helps.
It was a question....so how do I start a forum?
Hubpages can be a little too sensitive about political stuff, both in the forums and in the Q&A section. I did notice they don't mind that much about hubs, so maybe you should just write hubs and focus on the comments on them.
I am sure any question about Leonard Peltier is going to bring a heated discussion. Just the mention of his name strikes up flames for most people. Perhaps the question was not removed because of censorship. I am guessing the question may have been removed because of the answers. I would ask the HubPages help desk to be sure.
I don't think HubPages is about censorship. But, I do believe HubPages is about making sure we all have a pleasant experience on their platform. I'm all for that!

Leonard Peltier has been imprisoned for 34 years now, over a crime the courts could not show proof and yet alone, 3 other men were aquitted in the same crime for self defense. I am curious how much of the public out there is aware of this injustice and if Leonard is more internationally known...

Do you know who Leonard Peltier Is?In case you don't know he is a Native American who has been in Federal Prison for most of his life for the murder of two FBI agents. It is very likely that he is innocent of his crimes. You can check out his story at his official site below....

Perhaps someone can enlighten me. I asked a question like the following:Could Hitler have gone to heaven if had asked Jesus to forgive him just before he died?Something like that. Controversial? Okay. Uncomfortable? Okay. But, given the range of Hubbers, I genuinely was interested in the respones....

I have a list of more than 100 (106 to be exact) do follow forums, I'm just wondering if it's really effective before I register in all of them, signing up with 106 websites isn't a joke, it's time consuming so I'm just wondering if anyone here have tried it before, and what's the result?? ...

well at the risk of being 'booed",I have to say that I am uncomfortable with this new format so much that i find it difficult to participate or write a new hub. I've logged in for the past week and just can't warm up to this. The older one felt warmer,if that makes any sense.Tonight I manged...
