NSA and Microsoft = "not computer related?"

No politics allowed here. Since the content is not primarily computer related yet has heavy political connotation, I'm closing it.

admin just shut down my thread related to collaboration of microsoft with the NSA on Vista's security ...

i apologize ... i didn't know political discussions were not allowed; i've since re-read the rules.

that's unfortunate, as the intersection of politics, the rule of law and especially the notion of a bill of rights within our own constitutional republic will *always*, in ever more increasing degrees, affect our abilities to use computing and networked environments.

considering the current rules of ocforums ... i understand your decision to close my thread related to collaboration between microsoft and the NSA ...

but ..

i don't think it's wise, nor altogether truthful in regards to not being related to computing; on the contrary, it *is* most definitely related to computers and our own use of the same; such Information(tm) should be readily available to *any* person who is a day to day user of computers and/or networked environments.

just my two cents regarding your decision; please don't take offense.



BTW, maybe the rules should be re-written?
