RE: <I will say this one more time so that you fully understand it. I really, really believe in the American Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And I really like the freedom of speech part.>

Sorry ted, I have as little desire to continue this discussion and post this than you have to read it but I can't let that one go.

Your statement that you love the Constitution and the Bill of Rights is completely misplaced. Especially in the light that it seems to imply that anyone who appreciates the mod thread is unpatriotic.

As I have stated before the mod thread is not a dictatorship it is a democracy and it is far closer to a political system resembling the democratic process of this country than the unmoderated anarchy that exists here which you are mistaking for freedom.

You say you value freedom of speech such as exists in this country but even in this country there are limits.

* You cannot yell fire in a crowded theatre. (cliche)

* You cannot threaten the president (you will be arrested for the mere threat)

* You cannot significantly threaten physical harm to others (believe it or not this qualifies as assault and is illegal)

These are just some examples. Please don't try to make yourself out as some patriotic saint as you clearly don't understand the nature of the very political concepts you are espousing.

PS: I am going out of town so I will let you get the last word. I will probably eventually read it but I will not reply I am done.
