Hi!

[Maine Mary]

Sorry, but I just want to see how long it takes before Southlandshari&friends make my name and everything about me disappear.
I've been w/Du since May of 01. I've been asked a couple of times to "think about" moderating. I always said no.

I don't know much about moderating, but I would NEVER squelch someone's right to free speech. And that is what he/she does. If my posts are "not up to snuff" or they upset the likes of SLS' people, they (the posts')dissapear..


FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF Them!

14. Three guys were about to be executed

The first guy yells - TORNADO!
and the firing squad runs for cover and he makes his escape
The second guy yells - FLASH FLOOD
and again the firing squad runs for cover and the condemned prisoner escapes.
The third guy sees how this works and so as they line up to shoot him, he yells at the top of his lungs

FIRE!!!!!


There are logical limits to free speech, are there not?

[datasuspect]

16. there are legal limits to free speech too . . .

the protections afforded to a person under the 1st amendment apply only to actions by the Federal government.

private organizations, employers, your mom and dad, DU, are not parties to the U.S. constitution and its amendments, nor does the bill of rights protect you here.

[Heidi]

17. Thank you, datasuspect.

It never ceases to amaze me how few people understand what "censorship" means in the context of constitutional rights.

18. No one's free speech is "squelched" by DU moderators.

DU is not the only place in which one may express oneself.

19. Locking
