BRAVO, well done, great post!
I've heard of "suicide by cop." I guess there is "suicide by mod?"
"Only the uneducated use the term, 'censor' "
I believe the above is called a "personal attack". It's also apparently against the "rules". Mustn't violate the rules. Otherwise you may be censored.
Just...wow.
Looks like it, doesn't it? :-)
Are you intending to argue that you have no clue who Stalin is?
Hint: If he didn't like you, he didn't let you leave.
In any case, the "censorship" you are referring to is proper formatting, not content. The Moderators have not complained about the subject matter of your post.
"Not only are you a whiny, arrogant ..."
OH NO!!! More personal attacks. So much rule breaking is going on here. Where the heck is the moderator(s)?!?
P.S.: The Hayes Code, instituted in 1934, was not gov't imposed censorship. It was censorship imposed by the film industry upon itself.
How on earth is asking members to post in a way that allows us to be organized, economical and user friendly Stalinist?
I thought it was called "good customer service."
You learn something new every day.
Add the state govt in that statement. You know, Howlin', more and more this debacle looks like a Dem black balling of Bush. New Orleans....local response near zero; state response....wait one....the governor is out to lunch. However when the cameras show up it's time to bash the administration.
I'm right here
watching
The only liability that normally stands up is differential services that violate civil rights (such as systematically protecting members of one race and not another).
If you have a guy with a gun to your head, and the police don't bother to come until hours later because they were behind in their paperwork, that is legally justifiable. The consequences of not showing up in a timely manner are political, not legal.
"The Hayes Code was not government censorship"
That was exactly my point. I guess that means we agree.
There is something just not right about this story. Something we're missing.
A collective group of people just cannot possibly be this stupid.
Thank you, I was googling it trying to find info.
I am not home, so am unable to look the exact particulars up and post them, but trust me, you don't know what you're talking about!
What.....no refutation on my post about the BLUE LAWS? :-)
Hey..........you are no "victim" and a statement of fact, isn't a "personal attack." You've been whining about your threads being pulled, the supposed "censorship" here, and how the rest of us are STALINISTS or worse, since you got here. Those are the facts.
Sir or Madam, if it will stop your complaining, I will cheerfully agree to anything you say.
Uh...that would be in case something breaks FCC obscenity rules which is an entity of the government which has the force of law behind it.
So if we decided to take a marker and write comments on your forehead, should you be expected to leave them there as part of our free speech? If you washed your face, would you consider yourself guilty of censorship?
Pleeeeease...
