I'm not starting another thread
We had a great thread going about hetero and homo sexuality. I was in Kerry's corner most of the way, because of his proposal of thought stimulating comments. I was about to tell him that I thought Froggy had him up against the ropes on a final point when the thread was closed. I believe that the complaints came from the religious right who have never read any other book but the bible. I believe my rights to free speach and the right to receive free speach have been violated. I believe the dialogue was thought provoking and stimulating for the most part with a few interjections from a few that didn't have a clue. I don't think any group was attacked or harmed in the discussion, and if any were, I apologize since I was part of the discussion. I am sorry to see the thread closed by such a small group of individuals. Correct me if I am wrong moderator. I enjoy this forum, and my intent is not to cause a problem: I just wanted to make a point. THREAD CLOSED

Oh no Mr. Bill. It's the one liners again. Will they ever relent?

Its simple.
The medium is owned by a company that sets policy for the medium. If we violate their policy, its their right to shut us down. Don't like it? Start your own forum. Its a free country. Botnst |

W126, where do I tune my er...uh, hat to receive signals from your conspiracy club? I tried to surf the tinfoil waves, but couldn't find www.strongright.com -- must be even more cryptic and conspiratorial than we think...

Whether or not I agree with the particular threads that have been shut down doesn't matter at the moment.
I don't argue the rights of the webmaster and/or mods to shut down threads, ban members, ect at their disgression. Like Botnst says, if I don't like it, I can move on. But hey! Some of us have been here for awhile, and I for one feel I do contribute something here. After all, if we all went away, there would be no forum. Then MBAutowerks would need to find another way to get so much cheap advertising. I've always tried not to be the source of problems here, and to get along with everyone, and have even stood behind our moderators. But this is getting ridiculous!!!! I guess I'll start protesting about anything that I find offensive. What about that pretty girls thread? I think I actually saw a nipple there the other day. I'll probably get banned now

Dang it 4NDELIT, you beat me to it...
Your "rights to free speech and what ever else" haven't been violated here. That is a load of bull and you know it. The only organization you can claim that about is the government, whom is your servant.
When you joined, you were entering an agreement with the people who run this forum that you would stay within the guidelines of posting. Even if your initial post was cordial and non-inflamatory, that doesnt prohibit your entire thread from turning into a flamefest with or without your interference. In short, the mods here can shut down anything they please. It is their perogative to shut down threads that have left the realm of good taste and civility, or those that have reliably generated very heated flamefests. If are leaving because those in control whom you entered into a contract with made a decision within the realm of their purveyance, than too bad. Dont let the door hit you on the way out...

It's quite pathetic, isn't it?
Yes, the moderators do have the right to cater to the weak-minded whiners and censor our interesting discussions, whether they were "out of hand" or not, and there is nothing we can do about it. Oh, well...there's more important things to lose sleep over. Mike
