freedom of speech

[yarak 0]

I keep getting locked out of forums for making jokes and having fun. I mean sure i made fun of a airplane crash, but come on no one was hurt. the pilot walked away. Cant we make a little humor from that?

I can appreciate the power trip of the moderators as well as anyone. I like moderating with bias also. But come on. these are the most nit picky uptight people I have ever seen.


the fact is that you guys need me. deep down you love me. If it werent for A-holes like me who would you get on here and team up against ? You know you love the conflict.

I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.

Nonsense ... we got Twardo, and we don't need you at all.

We like the freedom to choose our A-holes. the A-hole in Speaker's corner is a valued commodity and has earned his/her position. One cannot just come on board and demand to be an A-hole, you have to learn the art. If not, then you will be just another annoying person who will not be remembered.

I came to the conclusion long ago that the only moderator worth a damn comes from,
Lewisham,
Peckham,
Catford,
Brixton,
Elephant & castle,
an Surrey docks.

but I'm biased


Edit to add, I just noticed all three moderators are North American, I'm saying no more

well i've been given a time out from the general board. Apparently my airplane burn was offensive or some nonsense. I mean come on we make fun of other skydivers when they mess up and walk away from it. Why cant we do that with pilots too. It was all in fun. I guess it was a sick burn!!!

my bad sick burn!!

I will earn my badge of A-holeism

Very unfortunately, we lost one of our SC moderators, Tonto, recently who was South African.

How odd is it that you are posting with indignation at the lack of "freedom of speech" here on dropzone.com considering what you just did to me (discoinferno) on your alskydiving.com website?

Check-mate.

You want toe-to-toe? Check-mate.

For the record, you're replying to yarak, right?
(Your post makes it appear you're responding to me. No biggie.)

Anyhow, best counsel is not to take his shit seriously, and don't give him the pleasure of a reply, especially an indignant one. It's a troll's principal nourishment.

Oh, sorry guy, it was to yarak. Sorry for the confusion - I have just had a lot of information (and mis-information) hit me all at once.

I have suddenly become rank with "phone-throwing Gruwell," as far as phantom posts made and modified on my behalf by frienemy lads on another newsgroup.

So you've re-learned the old lesson: when you play with scummy dogs, you get their fleas.

Freedom of Speech is guaranteed by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, but ONLY applies to the Government; it does not apply to private organizations such as dropzone.com. We have our own rules and apply them as we see fit.

It is perhaps your inability to fully understand this concept that has gotten you into trouble.

I suggest you read THIS page and especially review the second to last paragraph.

If you don't like it, you're more than welcome to exercise your freedom to leave.
