Free speech too much for WMA?

Next time you visit World Masters Athletics, you might notice a little change. The “Forum” is gone — vanished. No longer in the upper-righthand corner. No longer letting masters athletes and others post comments and queries. Actually, it’s still there in the background — but links to the Forum have been erased from all pages. I don’t know why they pulled the plug, but I suspect my raps of WMA honchos had something to do with it. And all this time I thought nobody was reading those cheeky critiques. Anyhooo, WMA can remove the Forum from the site but not from the Web. Thanks to archive.org, it’ll live on forever.
