Yup, along with censoring an entire echo in 2010 if I recall for a whole zone
as "read only" because they did not like the messages that were posted by one
person.  This also extended to another person from Australia who drew the ire
of a major Fido hub to start censoring his posts as well.

I'm only still part of Fido because a lot of people use software I develop, if
it wasn't for that I would probably of left a long time ago.
