Is freedom of speech dead?
 

After reading quite a few posts replies etc, i was wondering is freedom of speech dead on Dry County?

Re: Is freedom of speech dead?
 

Why would you say that? :?

There a difference between freedom of speech and not agreeing with other people.
If you have a board like Backstage where there is massive moderation and posts are deleted and there are very strict rules, there's less of a chance anyone will deviate from the norm.
Here, there's little moderation.
Anyone can say just about anything, just about anyway they want to.
So, if you're going to post on a board that allows you to post anything you want you have to be prepared to see people respond to that post anyway they choose. That's freedom of speech.

As for someone with a lame moderator status actually going into my posts and editing words, well... that's just children playing games.

I wasnt aware that someone did that to one of your posts. I just thought that you wrote it like that.


No matter what people have to say on this message board someone comes along trying to brainwash you into their way of thinking cos that person is "always" right!

Kind of sounds like what parents do. :? I think that is everywhere though. People are very passionate about their opinions and try to force them on other people.

Of course some people just like to disagree with just about everything just because they have nothing better to do. :wink:

Yeah im begining to think that too! They've got nothing better to do, thats really sad!

shouldn't swear then (as mike said)

You shouldn't swear if you don't want your posts edited.

er

I meant shouldnt

thank god somebody else noticed!!! i've been posting this for ages. it's very difficult for newcomers because there are an elite band of people that accept no other point of view.
