A while back Moon advocated that people shouldn't pay taxes in the USA as a form of protest against the US being in Iraq. Matt removed the thread and told Moon off on the basis that this was advocating breaking US law, thus leaving the site open to legal action.

Not quite. I advocated that people should attempt to starve the war of funds by not paying taxes, clarified as unnecessary taxes , i.e. they should tighten their tax regimes. A great many people pay unnecessary taxes and this loot is used to fund the military in actions with which the taxpayer may not agree.
I repeat, given this opportunity, look into your tax affairs and tighten up. It is perfectly legal for me to suggest this and the original post should never have been allowed to become a 'beat moon' stick in the first place.
However, I accept that I should not have advocated throwing Bush off the White House balcony. Lol.
Closer to the topic, I object strongly to oppressive legislations which curb our civil liberties under the guise of fighting 'the war on terror'. These laws play straight into the hands of those who object to our liberal way of life. Inventing restrictions at USPOL is the self-same route.
Governments, administrators, moderators beware. Sites like this are modern society's safety valves. Choke the valve at your peril.
