None of your RWET buddies around today? I can't speak for Poet, but I'm almost proud to be "censored" from a thread which I have no desire whatsoever to read, much less post to. I wish you guys would freely associate with yourselves more, but that's life.

I guess you proved my point that she is a bigot. Because she disagreed with something I posted, she censored me on her thread without even trying to argue logically. So she fits your definition of a narrow minded bigot very well. WRONG YOU did not read the header of the thread. YOU chose to post what you did. YOU attempted to post to me "seeking" some kind of "support" (how did you figure that in your sick mind is a mystery). She kicked you out because she could see clearly behind your statements. YOU did not like it... and now what ? you come to achieve what ? revenge ? by saying what you say ? You are a cheap sob. that is very simple to see the real question is can you see ? i doubt it, with your logic i am not surprised, yet that does not stop me from being disgusted.

I have stated on this thread that I believe in a person's right to freely associate. The LWP was set up as a place where people of like "liberal" minds could hang out with each other and very specifically not be challenged by opposing views. This is stated in the introductory message for the thread. I believe that Voltaire has the right to exclude who he wants and I believe that these rights extend to the real world as well. I believe that I have the right to not welcome people who have opposing views into my home, I believe that if I have a club, that I can exclude whomever I choose. I guarantee that you exclude people from certain facets of your life, we all do. And that doesn't necessarily make us narrow minded bigots. Are the people on the RWE narrow minded bigots? Or are they simply reacting to be excluded from the LWP? But what if the LWP was simply a reaction to being excluded from another thread? Does that relieve them of the narrow minded bigot label just as it would the RWE? She censored you because you didn't follow the charter of the thread. Just because you want somebody to argue with you doesn't mean that they are obligated to do so.
