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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
