3 of his 5 hides are Bo. Gus. Why would that be for this particular man?

have been silenced by baseless alerts and jury decisions. None of the posts hidden, should have been. Were they opinionated, yes, but compared to many, many nasty BS supporter's posts left to stand they were milquetoast. Those posts should never have been alerted on.

Censorship is when a person or group successfully imposes their values upon others by stifling words, images or ideas and preventing them from reaching the public marketplace of ideas. From as early as 399 B.C., when Socrates was sentenced to drink poison for corrupting his students, to the school board debates over textbooks that occur in contemporary America, attempts to stifle ideas through censorship are a feature of societies, both primitive and advanced.

He was citing a "joke" to make a point.

Like I said in the thread to protest the hide... if I made a joke that began "An Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman walk into a bar. ..." I'm sure to offend someone and warrant a hide.

Looking for any excuse to alert, and counting on the fact that they are likely, becasue of numbers, to get a majority in the court that will ban because they do not like what the person says.

There is another word for that, which I won't use.
