Kirk said censorship, no. I don't recall ever trying to stop you (Math) or others here from setting up your own little clubs. In fact, you have posted on one of the Justa boards here where honeybee and I are banned and my post that got me banned did not violate the TOS. *All I might do is point out you are a hypocrite if you make a big deal of honey or I banning people while supporting boards that do the same.* Quatro replies: Kirk, two points if I may: 1) Just because other boards ban people does NOT make it right for you and honey to do so. 2) Honey and you need to revise the introductions on you landing page to include the FACT that both of you reserve the right to make a mockery of the First Amendment by infringing upon FREE SPEECH by SUMMARILY BANNING people who have NOT violated TOU in any way, shape of form. Lets face facts. Both you and honey are Hateful Little Dictators. Cheers! Elan

"Harassment yes... I give what I get and try to hit back harder just as the US does when attacked. I've said all along, if you can't take the heat.... stop the name calling and harassment." Expressing disagreement with someone's public statements and actions is not harassment. "In fact, you have posted on one of the Justa boards here where honeybee and I are banned and my post that got me banned did not violate the TOS. All I might do is point out you are a hypocrite if you make a big deal of honey or I banning people while supporting boards that do the same." There are no uncensored boards, so according to your logic, the only way to avoid being a hypocrite is to not post at all.

I forgot to comment on this: "I give what I get and try to hit back harder just as the US does when attacked." Hitting back harder only works with a much weaker opponent. With opponents of roughly equal power, it only leads to escalation. Notice that the U.S. did NOT adopt that policy with the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and that's why we are alive today. Notice also that on message boards, we all have roughly equal power. The only exception is when someone succeeds in getting the conversation shifted to a board that he or she controls. But then people can vote with their feet.
