I'll add a little to this although I've not been involved in the incident which I shall call nutzgate.
A while ago someone posted a thread in the pub section talking about an ugly woman. It wasn't offensive, just a little bit of banter and someone complained about it. It was then deleted. I'm not a fan of censorship so decided to only post in the newcastle section. I could be wrong but the way I read it was that recently a post was deleted (not sure what about) and things kicked off with a couple of admins.
I recieved a pm from one of the admins with a copy of some things that were said. I'm not one for handbags so decided to post my random musings, banter and generally ill informed opinions on here instead.
