Howlin: I can say what I think, but apparently the Jackson Faction needs to call in the mods to shut me up.

GFP: I see that. Sigh! You haven't said anything I disagreed with.

Saying what one thinks about an issue is one thing. Saying what one thinks about individual FReeper's perceived lack of morality based on disagreement over an issue is a whole 'nuther talk show. When mods are called in to shut someone up, it's usually over the latter. A worthy use for the mods, IMO.

I said what I think; he's defending a child molester; I can live with what I said.

And I don't need YOU to lecture me.
