“Long live the queen”

********************************************

???

I do not understand how your reply ^ answers the question I posed, “Why do you think that,” regarding your comment about TGP being “horrible.”

On another note - or a slide, during the coof crap when my husband was very ill, you, among others, were extremely helpful, as I recall. For that I am grateful!

Nothing personal toward you.

My comment was a spin on the resident’s comment.

I’ll elaborate, owe you kindness and intend no insult toward you...

My “long live the queen” was a double entendre, one pointing to the stupid resident and the other pointing to the notion that differing opinions should be censored by a pseudo-monarch of any stylish modeling.

My perspective is that whether one poster likes one source, or dislikes another, or one subject is liked and another is not, or one slide topic is good and others are deemed bad, the site should not engage is censorship, other than when a liability to the forum owners is a threat, or at the OWNERS discretion alone.

Free exchange of ideas, even those we don’t agree with make us stronger, because we even learn from those in error, which helps us develop better communication with each other and enables us to understand and rationally confront deception, propaganda, brainwashing and outright lies.

Censorship is what the left does and did to us all for the last three years, yet is creeping in. This is what I am standing against in my comments.

My dislike for GP (and other sources) is merely my personal opinion (thigh GP was disliked for quite some time as expressed by other posters), yet I don’t ask that posters be banished to festival basement.

The solution to free speech we don’t like is more free speech, not censorship, lest we behave like the leftist carjacking media and left leaning social media. We’re better than this and should not fear opinions which differ from ours and we should never censor them. If those opinions are false, let the truth shine the light upon the darkness. But let’s not pretend differing opinions don’t exist by hiding them. To do this ultimately weakens each of us.

To censor unfavorable opinions in an open conservative forum is akin to conservatives being silenced on college free speech zone...yet worse, because we love the 1st amendment are are not and should not be afraid of it, even when we disagree with another.

Nothing personal toward you.
