    I have never demanded to be heard. As I told somebody else, I got sick of the shit I was getting at one forum. So I started a thread that said, "Don't Read This Thread!" 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?

    There being a point to posting a thread on a message board for no one to read. Got to admit, that's a new one.

    Well the thing is that for those who knew what sort of things I write about and weren't bothered by it, they would read the thread. But for those who didn't like the sorts of things I wrote about, I told them up front to not read it. Does that make things a little more clear?

But they will just move it down into their "shit" category. Where you have to be a member to even see it. Thing is, I almost certainly wouldn't be allowed to tell you what either of those forums are. One time at another forum I tried to tell somebody in a PM. The forum banned me for doing so. So much for the "private" part of a private message.

    Whole bunch of nothing.

    Speech has its limitations and consequences. It has limitations and consequences because of those who cannot handle the responsibility that comes with the freedom. The only people I ever have encountered on the internet complaining about free speech do so trying to justify their bad behavior and/or violations of stated rules.

    Trying to twist the argument around to victim vs herd follows on the heels of the aforementioned being rejected as justification for bad behavior.

    Following that will be the attempt to play semantics.

    Not my first rodeo

    I await your thought-provoking, intelligent, discussion-worthy enlightenment where you actually say something instead of this woeful attempt at playing semantics while saying nothing.

    On the other hand, I'm all out of mercy for trolls taking advantage of my tolerance for speech.

    You choose.

    Well I just finished two threads that are the type of threads you request. One about brainwashing and one about history. Have fun.
