Billy, re your 48593
You have completely and perhaps wilfully (I hope not) misunderstood the concept of free speech in any way it may pertain to this board.
The concept of free speech arose from a situation on the other board where only 'sunshine, lollipops and rainbows' type posts were permitted and those who might be objective in their comments were instantly branded as 'shorters' 'soft-bashers' (WTFingF is that ?) and which to some extent still exists. The labelling of someone as a soft-basher will be your clue.
Such vilification of objective comments once, about 8 months ago, strayed into the area of physical threat of violence.
On this board, you, and all, have the free speech to be critical and objective providing you/we back up such views with some logic,reason and/or rational arguments.
Your right to free speech, and that for others, does not extend to you behaving like a low-flying shitehawk.
So gratuitous attacks on other posters is not the right way to go about things, but you do have the right to defend yourself if gratuitously attacked.
The sudden appearance of Keyboard-Nazis is easily spotted, and their comments are intellectually restricted to insults and lies, which soon get them easily identified and banned. Keyboard-SS are seen by us all as posters who have nothing cogent to say about our company, but confine themselves to those ad hominem insults in order to to divert discussion. I urge you, and us all, to be on-guard against these slimeballs.
So, I hope that clarifies things for you on the Free Speech thing, and I look forward to your further comments about our fascinating company, for which we all wish great and enduring monetary success. |
