Against zotting...

Posted on 07/25/2006 9:55:01 PM PDT by Philistone

As someone who was (unfairly?) zotted oh so many moons ago because as a n00b I didn't understand the point to which some mods didn't understand sarcasm, I would like to put forward the (perhaps heretical) notion that we shouldn't be quite so quick on the zot.

Recently, a FReeper put forward the notion of a "probationary period" before being allowed to post.

I would argue that as long as the posts are rated "PG" (I understand that this is a family chat board) we should allow ALL viewpoints to be presented here. There are a couple of good reasons:

1) Where ELSE can you have as much fun playing with a liberal? Trying to engage a liberal in debate on the DUmmie board will get you tombstoned.

2) Most of the zotties are simply stupid. Why not try to enlighten them? After all, if churches kicked out all those who weren't already believers, there'd be no new recruits!

3) Love the sinner, not the sin.

4) What do liberals accuse us of the most? "Stifling free speech!" So let's show them that we actually SUPPORT free speech (within the "PG Rated" limits noted above).

Just my two one-hundreths of a dollar...

Questioning the MODS and their decisions is like talking about "Fight Club" you don't talk about "Fight Club"

I had an awesome Power Puff Girls' zot pic, but I can't find it, so I guess I'll just have to say,
