Can you update the title to reflect current scores?

Utah v. Houston starts at 8:30 ET.
To: Sir Gawain
NO point in waisting time: Utah 98 Houston 75 (I've been to too many Houston Utah games to not know)
To: Texaggie79
Utah is struggling since the defense change. I think they're allowing zone now, which kills the pick and roll.
To: Sir Gawain
Defense change is better than NO defense.

My initial post highlighted a message that I think Pearl was blatently sending out. He knew what he was doing when he did that..HE'S A JOURNALIST remember? I'm amazed at the amount of news censorship that you are recommending here. You happen to recall how the crew of the U.S.S Pueblo managed to signal the world that they were still defying their North Korean captors, with a posed propaganda photo in which they had all extended their middle fingers in the supposed *Hawaiian good luck* gesture? I'd bet Pearl knows the story behind that pic, and of the beatings and torture those crewmen suffered for sending that message.
Good thing that FRee Republic wasn't around back then: some moderator likely would have probably deleted their pic too, helping the North Koreans out, whether intentionally or otherwise. The Koreans would still be holding those crewmen, just as they still hold the Pueblo
That puts the Free Republic secret police in about the same category as Taliban Johnny Walker, so far as I'm concerned, and they're the ones giving FReepers more and more of a reputation as hypocritical single-minded bigots who tolerate no dissent from within the ranks.

I agree. The hand gesture was very subtle. I wasn't even sure it was a bird... But if it was, more power to him! I love Registered's stuff.

Let me clarify... I was too hasty... If the thread was pulled because it was not judged to be appropriate news, that is one thing I can't really argue with, it's not my site. But calling for punishment and banishing of Registered for it is a bit heavy handed. One can't be on the edge without occasionally crossing over, and Registered is a regular poster who has established himself as not being a disruptor for disruption's sake. Let's not become everybody's Mommy.

Did you just finish reading
How to Win Arguments Even if You're Wrong?
In all my time at FR, I have never read such acrobatic, specious reasoning.

I partially agree with you - some mechanism must be put into place advising the offender why exactly the thread or post was pulled.
We aren't mind readers.
That aside -Im of the opinion that if it was shown in other venues (your pic), it should be fair topic for discussion.
But I also like spam sammiches, so go figure

b) registered being bannedAm I slow? What in the world...
