I am anything but quiet. As far as 4UM goes it too often is a venue encouraging rhetorical lynching of anyone not weighing in with the chorus people like you approve of. The anti-free speech, anti-Constitutional lynch mobbing people like you love.
This is on you and no sweat off my balls.
This might be an important propaganda tool to you as you work to prevent free speech, but your intolerance, mean spirited desire to censor and eliminate all those who don't think exactly like you is your flaw, idiocy and problem, not mine.
You and other anti-free speech goonbahs are the quient ones as you effectively dive away free speech and marginalize the forum. I have this in a very accurate perspective and while I feel sad at what you do to this joint, it does not frustrate nor silence me in the least. What time and thought I do not contribute here still exists, I just don't waste as much time here in this no free speech forum.
But you don't get my point. I don't harass and browbeat people who support racism, homophobia and other nasty opinion owners on a personal level, yet I am always the recipient of nasty, intolerant of my speech rights personal attacks that have been based on slander and threats.
Some in here want the forum to be an echo chamber, and they do not depend on you to make it so, they use mob rule to quiet voices they disagree with.
That is what I am saying, and if you allow it to happen then that raises questions on whether you have the courage to be the sort of referee a free speech form needs to keep the information flow going, allowing all to exercise their free speech rights.
Threatening me, calling me gay, short, a nigger lover, or whatever is immature and does nothing to promote free speech. It just shows a love of the lynch mob over the engagement of lively discussion and debate on issues and current events.
This is no flame, just an honest observation. I see lots of people saying they like free speech in here who immediately turn around and attack anyone coming in here to exercise this right on a base and mean spirited personal level with the aim of having only the speech and opinions in here that they approve of.
I believe people are people, that no one race or ethnic group is better human beings then any other. The differences that exist between people of different varieties of people are too minor and inconsequential to be of use to divide people and to create conflict and hatred over.
As far as sexual preference goes, nobody can control what 'fires their rocket.' Sexual preference is a minor attribute of a person they have no control over and does not affect how well adjusted, functional or valuable to society or themselves and others.
I don't care wether someone is gay, lesbian or bi-sexual. Their lives and how they live them are as valid and real as heterosexuality.
I don't support or like the mindless hatred represented by these sort of mindsets and represent profoundly strong and well tempered beliefs and views that are central notions to my being.
And somethings just wrong with Rotera. But she/he is a good representation of the right wing Shout You Down form of dishonest discussion.
First off, it is common courtesy to ping someone to a post when you speak of him/her. At least it should be.
Second, I don't think Rotara is a right winger at all, but more like me, a rabid libertarian. I have no tolerance for people who in any way shape or form want to screw with my liberty and who support scum bag politicians who will do same.
I'll shout them down too, and if they want to cry about it, screw them. What they are doing to me is far worse. They deserve far more than being called a name or two.
