    Default How apropos a discussion

    Restricting freedom of speech again, Jim? Just because you have this delusion that all the members that don't come here will? Why don't you quit letting other members tell us what to say?

    The fact is, Trump is a dick and he sucks. Squelching people isn't going to change that. I don't care who doesn't like that opinion.

    You're as guilty as the MSM. You only let people post what you want to be heard and when some whiny shit comes crying, you react.

    But I get the math and logic to it. Y'all are all Donald Trumps. You like to dish it out but can't stand it when it gets slammed in your face. When did y'all turn into leftwingnuts?

    Remember back when you owned USMB and let people say what they wanted? You had a successful board.

    When did Jim squelch anyone's free speech?

    I must have missed that.

    What I saw was someone breaking the rules regarding PMs and Rep Comments being publicly aired.

    How about you shut the fuck up? Perhaps point us to where ANYONE has had free speech affected here? Because you sure haven't, nor has ANY other member here.

    So how about YOU SQUELCH YOURSELF and know what you're talking about, before starting threads in the wrong sections, talking about absolute bullshit?

    I have a novel idea here Gunny - I let people say what they wanted, huh? Are you NOT saying what the fuck you want RIGHT NOW? And again, WHO is not allowed to say what they want, or are you just inventing bullshit?

    I know it won't do any good to ask....

    Guys, we have a nice forum here. Please don't start fighting.

    This is Jim's forum. He has been very nice and lets us participate.

    I have to agree with the responses. Jim hasn't shut me up, no one has posted more against Trump. He hasn't tried, publicly or privately.

    This isn't a 'constitutional issue' it's a private board.

    It's a 'call out' thread and belongs in Cage.

    Is that what he's referring to? A dumb jarhead that couldn't comprehend the rules, and had NO CONSEQUENCES WHATSOEVER BROUGHT FORTH? Folks in the past ALL got a minimum of a 3 day vacation for such actions. This one got NOTHING, unless you count approximately 2 minutes of being removed from a thread.

    So is this your issue, Gunny, me not being thrilled with an asshole who can't follow the rules and got no free speech at all stopped as a result? Weird shit, huh?

    As to that S, you may want to look to the thread starter, who appears to be confused about the FACTS.

    I didn't mean any disrespect to you, Jim. I just hate it when people argue.

    You didn't and I didn't think such of you, was only putting in a small correction about one letter.

    Unless I missed something, that's all I can come up with... and he didn't get a complimentary boot for it, either.

    I wouldn't have banned him if he begged. I was more interested in a discussion with him, since he thought I was a coward and all. His free speech is/was here and waiting, zero settings changed, and weirdly enough he would no longer reply to PM's or the thread I directed him to. Odd actions from a "man" who jumped down my throat, then ignored questions, then acted like a sissy, then broke the rules, and then acted like a HUGE sissy with the alterations to his profile (how does a person who is banned make all those changes?)
