I have no problem with Lakota's posts. I find some of the articles thought provolking.

I agree , but I think your missing the point of this discussion..I think it's more along the lines , "who brought the rope, lets get Lakhota".

Incessant posting of the works of another is not exercising your rights to free speech. This is also a private mssg board where, BTW, you have no rights to free speech. You may be censored, cut off, deleted, banned, or abridged at any time.

Ok let's see if this is true here or not?? I think this was the rule of law on the MSN Boards as expressed by Diverdown34 but does the same rules apply here???

It isn't a "rule"that you "may be censored, cut off, deleted, banned, or abridged at any time", it is reality.

With all respect , as far as these boards , the old is dead , as dead as the Pharaohs and as relevant


I feel most here, by discussion feel the same way and to go and try to go back and nit / pick a favorite to you, then another has a favorite, and another.
What you brought up is irrelevant and of no consequence here , just a old ruling from a dead and gone and soon to be forgotten place that so many had negative feelings about proven by all the banning and time outs and discussions on.

Reality?? It depends on the Moderator from what little I have seen here so far.. and his or her bias or need to show their new found power..

[steff]

oh no desi, I didn't miss the point of the discussion. It's about one side acting offending in an effort to silent the other side. They have realized that here, the left can actually be heard and agreed with without being shouted over or deleted into silence and they aren't happy about it at all. more "lefties" have shown up and are giving their opinion and it's unsettling for them to not be in control anymore.

Honestly, if a person feel that way, isn't it up to them to get a grip and grow up . Are we here to hold hands and comfort irrational feelings by some?. anger/hostility through cyber space.., a chat site?
You have to be kidding. Beware the spoken word...thus censor it.

You do realize, Lakhota is on the floor where ever the hell he is living, unable to move, probably drooling all over himself in hysterics as he looks up to the monitor, remember he's fallen to the floor, possible not looking up, probably has a lap top next to him, as he reads all this discussion about him being enemy # 1, and people considering opening the season on him as being a angry and dangerous individual capable of collapsing this new endeavor we have all ended up on.

The "left" could be heard on the other board as well. The rest of your statement is BS about one side trying to silence the other.

[privateinvestor]

I think you can substitute the word "Spamming" with "Trashing" a board because most of the Huffington Post articles are pure and unadulterated trash...but trash sells these days unfortunately

Power they have, true, but not to use to reinforce their own bias in the use of it. Naturally, for some whom might have felt that power, there may be a feeling the power was used as a way of showing that bias when in truth the one who the power was used on was/might be the one who stepped over the line , yet is unable to admit that possible they were the one who wwere wrong, thus necessitating the use of the power.
Just a thought.

Who on the left has been silenced here or censored??

BTW what happened to Marshabar and Alex2 were they censored for being too far on the right of the political spectrum??

Again thats a personal opinion not a fact and usually brought about by how one feels about the messages these sites, all, both sides put out.
You agree with the articles/ ideas expressed, they become the gospel, you disagree, they become the spoken word of the devil. How do you solve this? ;D

[privateinvestor]

This thread is going around in circles and time for me to get a front row seat for the Ravens vs Steelers.......have fun and don't let the censors get to you....

Oh there were a few but in reality they were over shadowed, beaten down or attenpted to.

Why I know one who wouldn't even respond to another because of the feelings that one brought up in that individual..in the cyber world..because of ideas brought up, disagreements on topics.

Now how do you have a chat room that is supposed to be a place for dialogue, exchange of ideas, friendly if spirited discourse if people won't respond to one another.

Staring at each other , making faces and sticking ones tongue out over cyber space just does not cut it.

[Loopdilou]

I stopped posting on the other board when I realized 75% of the posters were so hateful that their hate was making me hate. I don't like negativity. Some of what lakhota posts isx hateful as well so I don't read everything he posts. Most of it creates discussion between both sides. This board would be awfully quiet without him.

[b2r]

Maybe a sub-board, "All Things Sarah Palin" would be a solution?

Reminds me of something I heard once about what happens when good men do nothing..........

The key here is "evil" and "good men", not just partisan differences.

Point taken Bills, however where do these partisan differences lead us. Is it not the ideology which causes the divide? At what point did Hitler's "partisan difference" transform into an ideological evil?

[lakhota]

I've seen it brought up a few times that some posters feel others are spamming the board, while others consider it free speech. Where do you think the line is between spamming a board and free speech?

Gee, I wonder why it's always righties complaining about non-righties "spamming" boards?

When partisan difference leads to the attempt to silence other does it become evil. Posting ideas, even to an extreme, is not evil when there is the ability to counter the idea. Attempting to silence that posting by calling it spam or hate, or by attacking the individual posting it in an attempt to drive them off is evil.

What's the difference between Lakhotas "spamming" and Marshabars "spamming". Both are expressions of free speech, correct?

I think in regard to ole Marsh baby...it wasn't the spamming ..it was the Marsha-itis, quick warnings, Nics, like a rail train out of control as she hit the place non stop..in and out so fast- violating so much so soon...ZAp, Zap...good riddence..for the betterment of the whole not the few.

Marsh didn't jus spam, s/he vomited vile.

Marsha? OMG, that would make about as much sense as me being a mod.
