    Don't change the subject. Either you support freedom of speech or you don't. Which is it.

For years I have seen various threads written by many people on various threads. They're all the same. All based on a firm foundation of willing ignorance. Part of the reason for that is because those who had sensible things to say were banned and had their threads deleted.

    Do you want others to read what your hostile ass is writing? Why would they want to read something written by a brainwashed, delusional and ill-mannered idiot?

    For years I've seen various threads written by many people, all the same, thinking they are the only ones with "the" answer.

    You haven't said anything sensible yet. You weaseled your way in the back door and went on the attack. Fuck you.

    It would just be an easier thing if you would just start some threads with your insights or comment on other threads rather than whatever it is you're trying to do here. FTR, there is more freedom of speech here than in many places but it obviously has limits as this is not a governmental entity. Start calling names or disrupting the flow of the threads, as some have been wont to do, and you can test the limits of freedom of speech... or don't do that and you'll find very little moderation and rousing discussion just may break out.

You contacted me, I replied, you replied a 2nd time - and your account was then unbanned by myself. I explained then why the software triggers that and it is by design. The software doesn't just ban a new member thinking it's a spammer - the software checks multiple public databases and if on a listed database, it triggers the ban. But one wouldn't be listed on such a database unless that IP was truly used for abusive reasons. And no, that doesn't mean that was you. But when using an IP address that is on a shared server or service with other people, that's why the negative association.

    I have no problem with folks protecting themselves while surfing the internet. In fact, I recommend it. But when it's a shared service of some sort or where the same IP address is shared, then shit can happen.

    I know all about forum rules. But the devil is in the details. I have also found out what any forum are when it get right down to it. Follow the herd, or else! Also, as I said, these days I do have problems getting into forums. Apparently you all use the same "anti-spam" software. That aside, thanks for letting me join.

    You're welcome. How about moving on and really don't need any more mod talk, if you have a problem, contact one of us.

    There is a site out there that will let you start your own forum for free. I did so. And went through quite a bit of trouble setting it up. In the title of it I made clear that the forum was to support freedom of speech. Not to promote pedophilia or any of that kind of shit. Just to be able to practice free speech. I posted one thread on it to get the ball rolling. A truthful thread. Those who hosted the forum service shut it down.

    STFU already. You don't care about free speech. You care about YOUR speech. After all, why should you read what others write? After all, it's just their free speech. Their speech of course is the stuff of sheep while yours is ... insults?

    You talk a damned big game and have yet to impress anyone with a word of it.

That is how much I desire for others to hear what I have to say. If anybody doesn't like the things I speak of, they are free to not read what I write. I on the other hand should still be allowed to write it.

    Whatever dude. This is tiresome. Submit a thread or something. How do you feel about tariffs?
