I want MY thread reopened

[the_real_Barleycorn]

I started a thread about the possibility that these "mail bombs" were a false flag operation and our PC moderator has closed it. It is my thread and I should have been asked or notified before hand. The investigation is not over (it's barely begun) so there is still a lot to talk about. If individuals have been insulting then I suggest the moderator do his or her job and deal with the individual and not censor us all in the Soviet manner.

Start another one.

[the_real_Barleycorn]

I think I just did but don't tell PC moderator.

[LexusLover]

I think it was not personally directed at you or the OP.

You are incorrect.

Threads get closed all the time here. Mostly because they've gone off track, and after multiple warnings refused to get back on track. In that case, we close it, issue the points necessary, and move on. Your opinion has been noted. Case closed.

P.S.-For future reference, they're never YOUR threads...as soon as you hit the submit button, this board can do with them as it wishes, and as such, you have no say in what happens to them anymore.

You think you should be asked or notified? Think of a thread or post as a gift...once given it is no longer yours but in this case eccies'.

Also, you're lucky it was closed imho. This being a 'false flag' is about as true as Stormy Daniels being an Oscar nominated actress!

Back on topic.

The sound of the oppressor. Once you pay your taxes it is no longer your money and you no say so how it is used.

Thread was pointless anyway. The MAGA Bomber was not false flag, it was just another dumb ass trumper.

[Ex-CEO]

Save for a few loons writing for some of the whacked-out conspiracy mongering websites, no one was suggesting, even in the early stages, that this crime was likely to be a "false flag" operation. Given that set of circumstances, what's left to discuss?


As for your insinuation that your free speech rights are being trampled in "Soviet style," you are quite free to host a website and say just about whatever you wish, and to delete threads started by others for any reason, or for no reason at all. Just as the owners' representatives are free to do on this site.

You gave us the power over you...we didn’t take it. You gave us that power when you agreed to the Terms of Service when you logged in. If you don’t like that, then simply don’t log in. In that scenario, you’ll be free to do everything you are able to do without oppression.

I am constantly amused when folks here think their rights (none actually) are trodden on by the "oppressor".
This is a privately owned board, somewhat a dictatorship.
Play nice and it's a benevolent dictatorship.

And even that is no guarantee.

What I find amusing is that folks can not seem to adapt to a few simple rule changes in this forum.

JD will find that if he keeps talking shit about Moderators, that there is a rule aganist that too!

By "adapt" I assume you mean banging the rtm button on every post you disagree with, frivolously hoping to prompt the mods to issue points. Sorry but that's not my style.

Agree.
If we look at what all various boards are doing to go neutral in an effort to avoid fosta/sesta fallout, folks have to go with the flow or something else will happen. Even P411 is taking a wholesale axe to some of its board sections.

And with Facebook catching it's first lawsuit even with fosta/sesta not even active yet, there's way more to come on that whole issue.
