The confederation flag forbidden ? Well, those who typically want to use it is pro segregation and often even slavery - didn't know that you were a supporter of that.

You don't have to support a position to support their right to free speech.

Then we will start 10 similar threads. He can close those too, but it's quite impossible to stop this topic from being discussed.

Nah the first "mohamed cartoon" thread turned into a Winston vs Gepap slang fest and got locked.

So Winston is all for freedom of speech until he sees something he doesn't like...

And GePap got banned because Winston whined to the Mods about him...

What was it I just said about Poly and censorship...?

So it is OK to wilfully incite a religion of hundreds of millions, but when someone points to a statement proving their point about a poster, he is banned...

Tell me, which is the greater crime?

Priceless!

for a start it would be a contravention of the Freedom of Speech, indeed to lock or delete it, or ban posters in it would be tantamount to taking the muslim's side wrt to the cartoons...

The only point where I agree with you is the PC culture - it should be fought against every time it pops up it's little ugly head.

Do you actually believe that?

Is it OK to call black people ******s in your world?

If I recall in France it is illegal to deny the holocaust.

In Switserland it's illegal to deny genocides tout court. Which brought us to the somewhat ironic situation that a Turkish historian was detained for denying the Armenian holocaust in Switserland, while you'd get in problems for in Turkey for doing the exact opposite. Oh well...

mobius, in your reality, can you make a difference between private internet forum and the RL? You see, private internet forums are privately owned. They therefore can enforce rules that members AGREE to follow when they register as users and members. The rules depend what the owner wants, because he owns the forum that is private.

SO I ask you, do you really try hard to make these comparisons and do you think they are valid in the reality the rest of us live in?

Accepted. But the point is that the person who is the first to 'tell mommy' also happens to be the one most vociferously defending the freedom of speech...

[Pekka]

I don't know about that. Just said that are you seriously comparing apolyton rules and freedom of speech in general. I'm glad you aren't. Because I thought you were.

Pekka is ****ing awesome.
