That's why I lurk these days. Everybody's afraid of any kind of debate, and that's what makes people think. That's how things are discussed in the real world. Pros and cons. Opinions. Thoughts. I like to think, not just read the same ole reports.
Not much to think about on here these days. It's pure censorship, and I happen to be an advocate of free speech in America. If someone doesn't like it, tough. If the truth hurts, or someone's opinions or words hurt your little feelings, take a hike and crawl into your safe little cave. If one can't analyze fair comment and criticism, then one shouldn't even be reading. Nobody makes anyone else read a forum. We all choose to. (I do so now mainly for entertainment--its better than the Comedy Channel much of the time!)
And hey, this is the internet, the place where most are afraid to even reveal who they are and where they come from, where there are no qualifications, and the giant melting pot of garbage in the world!!! If you don't believe that, then, well . . . Oh, I can't say it.
I have yet to read anything libelous here. And there's plenty of other boards where some good lively debate, controversy, and even sharp jabs are permitted. They stimulate threads of 50-100 posts, provide some new information to many, get everyone involved into thinking, and have never killed or damaged anyone.
"Thin-Skin Tackle!"
Me and Mike (The Angler) are still fishing together though, and he knows what I think, and respects it. No moderation needed.
