Lots of long time DR posters have been driven away by the "PC/Personal Agenda" moderators.
This site is mainly run and financially supported by those with businesses or property in the DR. There is therefore a bias in favor of a rose-tinted view of the country. A bad rep is bad for business and property values.
But I enjoy this entertaining and sometimes useful board for free. It takes a lot of work and a modicum of cash to keep it flourishing, none of it contributed by me. So I accept a certain amount of propaganda and censorship as a small price to pay.
And the many who do inject a dose of reality like Criss Colon and Gorgon are given quite a bit of licence to do so.
