Soft ban? Control of Free Speech? Why?

Soft ban? Control of Free Speech? Why?  It has been more than 12 hours since I posted the following reply to a post: Is my writing is really so complicated that it would take more than 12 hours to approve it? Do they understand what I said in the post? Or they are thinking if I have any hidden message/agenda with my post (like the hidden message that the moderator would like to deliver  (see item 5 in the link))? Or they are thinking I am going to play a manipulative game with my post? I have no idea but I am sure that they are afraid of my speech/writings. They want to create more obstacles for my speech/writing to control it (or hoping me to stop totally) Again, who would be so afraid of free speech? Usually someone in authority who would like to hide the truth from the general public would need the control of free speech. Agree?

One of such places is known as "audio science forums". Do we still remember the story of Galileo? I just saw the following article:  Four centuries after Galileo was silenced, UK students are still curbing free speech (theconversation.com) In the above article, it mentioned "no platform". Galileo faced the "no platform" issue; some students also faced the same issue. No platform? Whenever you attempt to speak a truth that is incompatible with the believes of the "audio science community" (aka cult community ), you will be bullied and attacked first, then put on control of free speech, and finally be silenced/vanished completely. (I already blogged a lot of my experiences for the last two months. Feel free to check it out  as I don't bother to list them one by one here) It is almost...

Magic! Now you don't see it !   Background for our discussion: 1. As stated in " why I start my blog ",  I created my account (@sunjam) in Audio Science Forum (ASR ) for my journey in the Audio Science World on 19 March 2024. 2. I saw a lot of fun and inspiring topics in ASR 3. Meanwhile, I noticed the wrong belief (i.e. the claim) that " Hi-Res is useless " ( statement 1 ) were being promoted by a lot of ASR members (including "Major Contributors", "Donors", "Sponsor", "Industrial Insider") to the people who question the claim 4. Most of these supporters claim "statement 1" is " factual ". They emphasized that there are a lot of objective tests / measurements supporting such claim. For example, this is the  paper  (from Journal of the Audio Engineering Socieity) they used for the claim. (This blog explain why the paper does not support statement 1) 5. Some of these supporters even state th...
