UHH just deleted and threatened me over my well documented defense of Joe McCarthy in four posts when somebody else brought up the subject and then another UHH taunted me as to whether I defended Joe McCarthy or not. I answered at great length and documented the t***h of the matter and times---but since the Admin insists only photo topic can be addressed in conversations, I will say good by. None photo topics are allowed--but such cannot get into the discussions, but only in the "non-photo" threads---and probably what is deemed politics---not even there?. That is too restrictive and I have better uses of my time. So---I am asking for de-activation, although I have been one of the most active participants in these few months. So, I leave it for the "snarkies and trolls" to follow my announcement here with---good riddance "old school." Anyway--I do thank the many serious people here like Tim and others.------Eric Westhagen

Thanks---but it was just too much to see tha Administrator deleted my 4 long refutations to the UHH member that made a snide remark---so you back Joe McCarthy's witch hunts? ---or words to that effect. Defending against exposing c*******ts embedded in our government was too political for the administrator or someone running to the administrator. Everything I said about those years is documented and I spent time composing those replies. And to get threats and four deletions from the admin. --I don't need that. Thanks.---Eric

Don’t go. Don’t be so sensitive—-we are only misguided buffoons on the internet.
Take a break, but come back.

I rarely present these, but you have earned it my friend. Take care and make sure you close out the account fully so you aren't tempted back to this horrible place. You are too good for the likes of us!

Perhaps consider using the uhh site to discuss real current photographic topics and artistry?

OldSchool, you are in charge of your own "de-activation". UHH is the "Hotel California" of photo websites.

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
'Relax' said the night man
'We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave!

(Don Henley, Don Felder, Glenn Frey)

Maybe someone will defend you in forty years, I doubt it. Good riddance.

I have been permanently banned from Chit-Chat by a particular Liberal administrator who h**es me and my ideas in general. Why didn't you post your comments in the Attic? I haven't seen you there and for one am in agreement with your opinion about McCarthyism.

In the 1950s, we rejected McCarthyism which wanted to destroy the very lives of c*******ts and, c*******t sympathizers to protect America. But because we knew that McCarthyism was just as much of an existential threat to America as c*******m because it denied Americans their rights as individual citizens, it was left up to us to rely on the t***h about c*******m in free and open debate to defeat c*******m.

That's the Conservative approach as opposed to the authoritarian mandates of censorship by Liberals which is unAmerican.

You can add me to the list of banned chit-chat members. What bothered me the most was they said they had warned me serval times which isn't true, but it shows what type of people you are dealing with in admin.

Did you attempt to rebutt this with admin or is the algorithm too impersonal to actually detect honest push back??
