This is what the world is coming to.

Eventually there will be no criticism allowed whatsoever, even of a musical piece because it may offend someone who likes it. Like if I criticise rap, they will come out and get me because I offended someone who likes to hear "BOOM MUFUKA BOOM MUFUKA BOOM MUFUKA". And of course blowing the trunk lid practically off their car and sounding like shit.

But that is where we seem to be going, 1984 is coming. It is mostly here. Just a bit late.

There is also the other side of the coin. I am on a couple of fora that are unmoderated. People get nasty. People are nasty. They talk each other into suicide. (that girl recently who got charged with manslaughter because she told the guy to get back in his truck) But it is not her fault he did it. It is his fault, plain and simple, she did not touch a thing, it was all of his own doing. Personally I think she got tired of him threatening to do it and decided to call his bluff. But she is going on trial for it. I think, if she knew his condition well enough, which she didn't and is not a health care pro, by telling him to get back in the truck to finish the CO job would be reckless endangerment. And that is only if she knew him well and believed he would actually do it. If some broad on the phone tells you to kill yourself, do you do it ?

But this site that removed the posts, don't post. Traffic is what keeps these places alive. If you do not contribute monetarily to AA, their revenue comes from hits on ads, and traffic. Got to have that traffic. If you are not pleased with their terms of service stop giving them your traffic.

I am on one now that has an unmoderated section. One of the ex moderators is in there. She is no longer a moderator, and now I can tell her what a bitch she is. If you want REALLY unmoderated, try Usenet. Never has been moderated, most of it anyway.

With any luck, people (lawyers) will stand behind the first amendment, but that does no good in a privately owned forum. Pressure can be put on the owners of course, with threats of leaving and decreasing their traffic, but in the end it is their decision. Sink or swim.
