Free Speech......

[BasicGreatGuy]

If you want an absolute free for all, with no rules or accountability by the members, set up your own site. But your own money and legal butt on the line. Easy to come to a site and complain, when you can come and go as you please. Your post reads arrogant Spinoza.

 

[KittenKoder]

Spinoza ... just wow ... you really don't understand what free speech means for your last point. We have the purest form of free speech here, even with the few restrictions. Free speech means that everyone with an opposing view can also post their "drivel" ... and that's pretty much what all opinions and views are, drivel. You are fooling yourself if you think any one side is more factual or logical than the other.

As for this message board......
I have read the RULES and I do UNDERSTAND the preferred protocol.
But what I do not UNDERSTAND......
Is why the gentlemen and/or ladies who CONTROL this board......
Have opted to HONOR the drival of any sophomoric poppycock......
At the expense of ABSOLUTE FREE SPEECH!

I get it now: Have "free speech" by limiting the "free speech" of "drival of any sophomoric poppycock." (It's actually 'drivel' and you should ask yourself why you sophomoric-ally use words you don't understand, and cannot even spell.)

Right? LIMIT what some asinine arbitrary person calls "drival" then call it "absolute free speech?"

Do you even understand what you posted? Did you even read it?

Toodles.

After a mere too post history hear......
Eye can sea already that this forum may be just what I have been searching four.

And......
While I would have preferred more noble nibbles at the actual meet in my to missives two date, having what appears two bee my own personal "spellcheck" service is in deed an obvious plus.

Cheers.

i hope you don't always type like that.

You want a site with absolutely no rules on what can be posted? Go to AWE. Seriously. Go see what a demented pit of slime it has become. It's all n****r this, and k*ke that, and towel-head and sand-n****r and "all black people must be lynched" and "all white people must be killed" and...

Well, you get the picture. No moderation = stormfront/al-jazeera all rolled into one. Actual discussion does not occur because of all the racist noise.

Do I understand what I have posted......

I'll reply to your second query first, with what appears to me to be a logical search for truth.
How could I have written what I posted without reading it?

I am one of those fellows who sincerely considers ALL THINGS to be possible, but I admit you have truly tested my common sense with your "Did you even read it" remark.

OR......
Was your second question merely meaningless exaggerated rhetoric added to your first question, with the presumption that no one would either notice or care?

Next...... Your obviously more significant question.

Cheers.

When I "introduced" myself to this board......
I clearly advised anyone who might care that my posts are frequently "purposely scribbled in a manner that requires more than a casual effort to decently dissect their meaning".
N'est-ce pas?

When I keyboarded the following words......
"Have opted to HONOR the drival of any sophomoric poppycock...... At the expense of ABSOLUTE FREE SPEECH"......
I was referring to HONORING/paying homage to individuals who might prefer posting pornografic STUFF, profanity, threats and/or personal attacks......
By employing RULES (thereby honoring THEM) and thus censoring ABSOLUTE FREE SPEECH.

I sincerely appreciated and enjoyed the RULES section comment regarding this board's willingness to allow FOOLS to prove their foolishness in print.
That's FREE SPEECH.
And I have no problem with the OWNERS of this board DELETING graffiti from any FREE SPEECH fence they have constucted and therefore must straddle.
Painting over the graffiti of others is also FREE SPEECH per my philosophy

But "banning"......
Is obvious CENSORSHIP at its worst IMNHO.
However, I honestly respect your RIGHT to sincerely disagree.

As for UNDERSTANDING what I posted last night......
I have no problem with any reader of my missives UDERSTANDING what they prefer to UNDERSTAND.

As also clearly stated in my introduction post......
I am not here to CONVINCE anyone of anything.
My little grey cells have enjoyed adequate excercise for the last three evenings......
And I am content.

Cheers.

Wow ... you are clueless.

Spinoza ... just wow ... you really don't understand what free speech means for your last point. We have the purest form of free speech here, even with the few restrictions. Free speech means that everyone with an opposing view can also post their "drivel" ... and that's pretty much what all opinions and views are, drivel. You are fooling yourself if you think any one side is more factual or logical than the other.

Regarding your "just wow"......
See post #29, and I'll be happy to respond further if you continue to believe I "really don't understand what free speech means".
If your suspicions have merit, and are not merely the fruit of an understandable misunderstanding, I invite any additional discussion that may inspire learning.

And now MY "just wow"......
For "and that's pretty much what all opinions and views are, drivel"!
BRAVO!

Long ago......
I ceased seriously fooling myself by thinking (BELIEVING) that "any one side is more factual or logical than the other".
More often than not, I find myself ill at ease with BOTH SIDES regarding a majority of the issues that most inflame the personal passions of my fellow man......
While accepting the reality that even MY BEST SUBJECTIVE GUESS stands less than firmly on shakey soil.

Cheers.

Free speech law means the government cannot restrict our views being voiced, other than that, as I said, this is the purest form of free speech you can find anywhere while civility is maintained at a tolerable level. As many say, free speech isn't free. Message boards and any forum or even businesses can restrict speech if they so please, we only restrict what we have to here, or sometimes when the higher ups get annoyed by the over use or abuse of a made up word. That's it, that's pure freedom of speech, and frankly, if you don't like it, you wouldn't be here.

Your post reads arrogant Spinoza.

More like pedantic drivel to me. He'll fit right in...somewhere.

"Pedantic drivel"......
Very good!
I like it!
That's me in my perfect/preferred nutshell!

And BTW......
I am also arrogant.
Just as ALL my fellow human beings on our tiny planet are subjectively arrogant IMNHO!
My only distinction is freely admitting my preferred pride, and my willingness to recognize and encourage the same subjective trait for ALL whom I share my current three dimensional existence with between birth and death.

Cheers and goodnight.

DRAT......
I purposely planted "pornograFic" last night to enable my select spellcheck squad to action.
But nothing!
What's happened?
Must I now do it myself after I hunt and peck my way through each of my rambling remarks?
That could seriously impede the already limited amount of gibberish I am capable of kerboarding here on any given evening.
C'est la vie!

Cheers.

I now consider myself "introduced"......
And ready to enter into the melee that awaits me amongst the political pages of this forum.

My thanks to all who have welcomed and challenged me over the last few evenings, and given me cause to suspect that I shall truly enjoy playing in this particular sandbox.

I keep a list of topics/ideas that interest me for future discussion/debate, and I have already added two new notations on this list that have been inspired by responses to my opening salvo in this forum.
However, since they both deal with FREE SPEECH issues......
And given the reality that I would prefer to not be regarded as merely a one-trick horse's arse......
I shall get to them when they have worked their way to the top of my list...... Unless STUFF happens.

Also......
I do have 2 questions as I attempt to learn how to navigate this board, and I would appreciate any assistance.

1) How do I add a "signature" to my posts?
2) How do I add a writen comment to a "thanks"? I tried my first "thanks" tonight, but I found no place to type any words of explanation.

BTW......
There were a number of INTERESTING TO ME posts on this thread that I did not respond to with a comment. Not because I did not attach merit to them, but simply because I lack the computer/typing skills and the time to REPLY TO ALL.
And while I do truly enjoy PLAYING on my computer, there is much that continues to interest me in my real life.
Ergo, I made a decision years ago to never become enslaved by any message board (despite the allure) in the time I have remaining to me beween an early retirement and a certain death.

Cheers.
