Banned User
The whole point was, the Admin with whom I was clashing at the moment and the owner were scared of the heat. The owner had run -ins with the EFF-BEE-EYE before over things that were said, and NO ONE GOT CALLED OUT on that. But for me, the rules were different, I guess and I cannot tolerate hypocrisy.
Meanwhile, an Admin sits there and repeatedly posts the same video 3 or 4 times in a freaking row on the Admin board, yet isn't called out for spam. If anyone else did that on a lower board over there, they would have been chewed out, if not temp-banned for that stunt.
Look, it would have only been a matter of time before SOMEONE pulled a stunt like that for reals. Perhaps not one of the regulars, but a disgruntled n00b or someone like that. When I suggested adding sedition as a mod to the existing TOS and banned postings, so that everyone is clear what is not allowed-- currently, the TOS only prohibits kiddie porn, bestiality, copyright infringement or spam-- I was shot down. Yet my poll was removed, and I was told that "sedition"/threats to the President were verboten. Again, what threat did I make?
Leave it to another ass to post an assassination threat or inciteful post that DOES meet the guidelines of illegal or unprotected speech ("fire in the theatre" speech), then argue that it doesn't violate the TOS. And technically, they would have a point. Pyrrhic at best, seeing as it would be a point made from Club Fed... but hey, it's just as illegal as the other Big 3 that are already mentioned in the TOS, spam not really being illegal but a huge PITA.
If it were a real threat, I can see the post being pulled, but they pulled/censored a thread that was only controversial-- the WHOLE thread and all the posts contained in that thread... not just the offending post. The camel's nose... what will be censored next in that self-proclaimed "bastion of free speech"??
So someone was offended. What does it say on the home page over there?
"If you are offended, you're on the wrong fucking site." Sounds like someone is on the wrong fucking site... :laugh:

WELCOME to TrollValhalla!
You stand before the gates of Trollvalhalla where trolls gather to meet, greet, discuss the issues of the day, trade trolling tactics, and engage in all-out war!
Entering herein is not for the faint of heart, nor for the limp of wrist, and neither for the weak of mind. Such fools who dare enter are quickly shredded into wall trophies. Those who are easy to offend are the fastest casualties.
Trolls have thick skin to absorb attacks. Trolls have a high regeneration to overcome the wounds they take when they make mistakes in battle. Trolls have sharp claws to deal vicious attacks, and trolls have keen vision to cut through the common BS and see the truth. Many trolls crusade for the truth and scorn those who oppose it.
Do you have what it takes to be a troll?
If so, feel free to register, and let loose in an environment that holds Freedom of Speech and the 1st Amendment to the United States Constitution in the highest regard. Please be aware, however, that while you can say practically anything you want, there are 3 things you can't do:
1. Do not post Illegal Porn. Bestiality or Child Porn will not be tolerated. Don't even think about it. Show me where it says that seditious or inciteful speech is not allowed. Of COURSE bestiality and kid porn are illegal, but if sedition is also not allowed here, it should be stated along with the other forms of truly illegal speech in the interest of consistency.
2. Do not Spam the board. As trolls we spam other boards to get banned - we fully expect it. Spam here and you get banned as well.
3. Do not infringe on someone else's Copyright. Again, illegal-- but where is the prohibition on sedition or incitement?? If that is illegal, it should be mentioned so that it's very clear to all.
Other than that, there are no rules. You will find offensive material posted herein! You will be offended! By clicking to enter you expressly agree to our terms and you understand that content herein is for entertainment purposes only and that you assume all responsibility for the content you view.
Oh, and one other thing:
If you're offended, you're on the wrong fucking site.
