Has anyone noticed that ALL of these latest postings are on the Group Website ONLY from Captain Jim?
Jim is only REPLYING Publicly on this Group to Bruce's PRIVATE conversations with him, as the "Moderator"/CENSORS on this Group do NOT allow Bruce's postings to appear on the Website.
This message is also being sent DIRECTLY to "The Flying Wino" and BRUCE as Gary will Censor it to the group, as long as he's on the "Nutso pills".
CENSORSHIP is an egregious act...that's the TRUTH!
