RE: Sign of the times we live in?

First of all, how the hell did you get italics in here ? Does normal HTML code work ?

But the ad hominems need to be eliminated. I am on one, a kinky sex site, where one member calls people felchgobblers. Do you know what felch is ? It is the mixture of semen and feces after anal sex. He has no right to call people that, and I am convinced he owns at least part of the site because otherwise he should have been banned years ago. If calling someone a felchgobbler is not ad hominem I don't know what is.

I got posts pulled here over a technical issue. The PTB believe I am wrong, but I know better, and I am not going to bring it up again, think what you want. I got the experience and the knowledge to know I am right.

But I had in some posts "another one who doesn't know what he is talking about". Doesn't matter if it is true. We are all t the mercy of those who run the place. And the issue was not that important. If I wanted to pursue it I could break out some test equipment and a video recorder and prove my point, but why ? I have not been hired as a teacher.

"For instance, if I say that I hate eating beef, why should my statement be banned."

Technically, if it was a group all about beef, maybe it should. But that is apparently not the case. I can also see that posting pork recipes on a Jewish site might not go over too well.

"So my thread contained the word 'worst'; but I didn't use that negative word to denigrate or belittle any particular forum member. I was using it to denote the sound quality. Like, 'the worst sounding recording'. And it got banned just because it contains the word 'worst'. "

I agree with you on this. The only option you have is to stop going there. It is still their site and they can do as they please. The Constitution only stops the government from prohibiting free speech. If you don't like what someone is saying in your business or home or yard, you can throw them out. That is your right.

There are limits on what you can do about this. At your home you can get the people who bring the beer to not go to the other place. You can draw members from one site to another. You can get people to leave a bar and go to a different one. But a website is technically private property.

Do as thou wilt. If you can contact other members of that site you can invite them elsewhere. Cost them that traffic.
