Well, it looks like I am not welcome on this thread by someone who has pull. For years I have posted my pictures & graphics to express myself as many other do.

Yet only last year on another NFL thread was this brought up and I was told by the mods then I was in the right.

However, tonight again my posting is called spamming and pulled.

I guess to some here, the 1st Amendment has no meaning and they talked the mods into agreeing with them.

Well, see ya around, if I am allowed in the future.

Well gosh darn ... I wouldn't take it that way.

I was enjoying your graphics, but part of a free people's right to associate includes their collectively deciding what expressions they will allow. Here we do that via the (mostly) beloved FR mods. Like football refs, they call them as best they see them.

Thank-you mods, for your good work. I may or may not always agree with your decisions, but I sure appreciate the work you guys do around here.

Please, Bender2, let's reserve invocations of First Amendment rights for where they actually apply. No one is stopping you from expressing yourself, they are just choosing, via the mods, what will be expressed on this thread.

Please oh please don't go. Your comments and graphics are so awesome and fun, love your personality.

These past months of reading the threads have been such fun because of how you express yourself.

Shoot this is the first time I have been able to join in and this is awful to see happen to a good person.

Actually, my friend (that’s you, Petronski), I appreciate Bender’s “bent” sense of humor. And if you can’t get along with my robot friend, I may have to report you to your cyborg friend. :-)

Now if his graphics are uniquely slowing down the threads, maybe a word is in order, but I don’t know that is the case (and I guess Jim and the mods ultimately have to decide that).

And as for you, Mr. Bender. You are assigned to go back to robot school and download the latest edition of “First Amendment for Robot Dummies.” You can have a beer when you’re done.

That is all.

...the 1st Amendment has no meaning...

The first amendment protects against government abridgment of free speech and nothing more.

Keep in mind, that the 1st Amendment is irrelevant to the issue of whether or not your posts are spam. Sometimes your graphics are amusing...sometimes they are long, excessively frequent, and mildly irritating - but the real issue is simply that we are all guests in someone elses forum and the 1st Amendment simply doesn't even potentially apply unless the owner of this forum wants you to post the stuff and the government is for some reason trying to ban it through force of law.
