quade 4 #29 October 25, 2010 QuoteI love how snippy you get when someone touches a nerve. Universal "you" of course Snippy? I, and I might add the other moderators of the site, have gone to great lengths to avoid even a whiff of actual censorship in discussing all but the narrowest of topics. In fact, only one, jokes about pedophilia, and that doesn't come from us, but the owner of the web site and is agreed to by every user of this web site in the terms of service. When somebody brings in the word "censor" it chaffs my hide a bit because there is no historical or factual basis for that occurring on this web site. People making claims on this web site that their freedom of expression has been repressed are simply crying out for sympathy in otherwise pointless and futile efforts and are attempting to use the lowest of tactics in order to "win." It's just stupid.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

loumeinhart 0 #39 October 25, 2010 QuoteWhen I hear Obama talk about doing "What's best for all Americans" I figure he's an idiot because he knows that there is no such thing. When I hear a Republican talk about the Right thing for all Americans I think he's an idiot because there is no such thing. wow +1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
