What happened to Free Speech?

[CatKillaZ]

I happened to enjoy the article posted by Bapace. Why was it locked/removed?

Just because people have different beliefs on our feline friends? People can argue whether AMD or Intel performs better? But can't people argue about what a bunch of great dogs these were or were not? Please someone explain.

you didn't follow the instructions on the MIR

 

[slsmnaz]

wonder what your other name is?

 

[CatKillaZ]

Is discussing cats off-limits?

 

[FoBoT]

wrong forum
and you're going to get permabanned for making a second account

 

[meltdown75]

Free speech has never been a characteristic of this forum.

 

[CatKillaZ]

Have you ever thought I am just another person in cyberspace with similar beliefs?

 

[waggy]

oh is that the posting about being happy a bunch of cats were killed? yeah that deserved to be locked and banned.

you want to talk about what is better between cats and dogs? great. but man that post was lame.

For those of you thinking "CatKillaZ" is me, kiss my @ss. Moderators can look up my IP and realize that isn't me.

You are entitled to your opinion, but so am I..

 

[moshquerade]

who said you were guaranteed free speech here? this is a dictatorship!

now get to the bottom of the ship and start peeling those potatoes!

oh, and 2nd account is a no-no. hope your IP addy doesn't match. :shocked:

 

[waggy]

sure you are. but you are NOT FREE to give it on ATOT. this is a private site. they want to lock stupid threads like that they can.

Not on a private forum.

This is a privately owned/run forum. They can do whatever they want. Free speech does not apply here. Sorry.

Well maybe I happen to think overclocking chips and World of Warcraft are stupid. So they should lock those as well

Don't you get it yet? Nobody gives a damn about what you think.

 

[CatKillaZ]

My point is just because people dont agree with other opinions, doesnt mean that they cannot be mature about it. If you don't like it, don't visit that thread.

 

[bapace]

Like I said, dude isn't me....100% guarantee my IP isn't the same as that guy. If I wanted to cause trouble, I would have started after my other thread got locked. but that was 4 hours ago, Thread got locked, I quit worrying about it.

and if you don't like the thread being locked go to a diffrent forum.

The real question should be: what happened to our education system that so many people don't have a clue what free speech actually is?

No, you don't get it.

If the mods don't like your post, it will be locked & deleted. It's that simple. No, really.
