a breach of the first amendment of our constitution Zeev, my friend, that is just silly. Silly. That is the word I will use. I can barely believe you went for that bogus "deduction". We're all on a site owned by a company. The company created some rules for the site. One of the rules might have been "No men over age 50 on the site." One rule might have been "You will be banned from the site forever if you use the word "cool" or any of its spelling derivations". The rules are the rules. That's the end of it. Company site, company rules. End of story. One of the rules here, invented by the owners of this site, is that anyone who is a member can start a thread, and if he or she chooses, he or she can block anyone else who is a member from posting a message on the thread he started. Personally, I think the feature was incorporated onto the site because some lame-ass engineer couldn't do what he was asked and invented the "moderated thread" feature by accident...then got some logically challenged executive to actually put it on the site. It's a really, really stupid feature. But that's another argument, and SI cares not for my opinions on the matter. A "moderated thread" on Silicon Investor has NOTHING to do with the Constitution of the United States, or the Bill of Rights - except perhaps in the sense that the company is allowed to create the site in the first place, and anyone in the world can join up and publish their thoughts or ideas on this site. Mr. Stevenson says he joined SI 5 times, for a total of a thousand dollars, in order to argue with somebody who told him right up front that he might be shown the door and locked outside. Does this suggest a violation of the Constitution of the United States of America? No. It suggests that Mr. Stevenson, assuming he read the Terms of Use, might be an idiot for wasting his money when all he had to do was start his own thread on Silicon Investor.

and speaking of "The Message", this is all I need to know right at the moment: Message 16683144 This jackass, who is trapped in some goofball mental movie from 700 years ago, claims he speaks for all Muslims. He puts on a robe once worn by the prophet, and says all Muslims would rather die than "submit" to an "evil government". Right. I hope he gets that one wish (for himself). Once he has assumed room temperature, I guess I can move on to the beat-the-crap-out-of-the-woman-who-dares-to-show-her-friggin'-face issue, the chopping-off-your-hands issue, the public torture and mutilation issue, the laughing-in-public-is-a-crime-and-you-will-be-arrested issue, the no-music-or-television issue, the women-are-camels issue, and the rest of the stupid shit he is blowing out his psychotic evil soon-to-be-dead ass. Then again, maybe not.
