Once Again with the Free Speech Argument and the Censorship Martyrs

[LoungeMachine]

Every few months or so for whatever reason we get another cry of CENSORSHIP!!! and/or WHERE'S MY FREE SPEECH??

Sometimes posters take the rules for what they are, and move on with their debates.

Sometimes posters decide to perform "suicide by webbie" and push it so far as to warrant banning. [10 days or forever]

So let's review for the jack[ass]mars of the board who can't quite grasp the concept of a privately owned web site versus the town public square.

There are very few limits to your free speech here:

No dick pics

No personal information

No threats of violence

No *N* word, or other derogatory hate terms.

No pics of that would not be safe for work outside of the Picture-palooza

And finally, please remember that when you signed up here, you ACCEPTED this statement:

By agreeing to these rules, you warrant that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-oriented, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws.

The owners of The Diamond David Lee Roth Army reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread for any reason.


That's right, mensa. For. Any. Reason.

So you KNEW coming in that this was NOT a "free speech zone", so stop your fucking whining, you fucking fuckity fuck.

Hate anyone not white? Join the Klan.

Hate abortion? [we all do, asshole] Feel free to picket a clinic with whatever pic you want.

But stop thinking that just because you want to post anything you think will get your point across, that you have the right to here...

Because you don't.


And one last thing......

Whining about it after the fact doesn't win you friends, or influence people. It just makes you look like a bitter, internet chub.

:gulp:

feel free to discuss how hurt you are that at times we have THE RIGHT to edit your shit we deem out of bounds for this site, as prescribed by the owner of this site.

[chefcraig]

Look, here's the deal on the alleged "censorship" at this or any site: It has absolutely nothing to do with suppressing your ability to express your intents, ideas or beliefs. What it has to do with is the following...

Not everyone here posts from the Bat Cave or their mom's living room. The truth is, many of us view this site during the course of the day from work. Yep, every so often, we take a break from dealing with nitwits at the job to find with some distractions in cyber space.

So there you are, mindlessly clicking on a thread at the ARMY about politics, and what pops up on your screen? Yup, the image of a baby, covered in blood. And what makes this event even more precious, the same boss that has been on your ass for the past two weeks because things have been slow now decides at that very minute to approach you about some petty nonsense.

Swell, eh? http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-ashamed-smileys-705.gif (http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/Free-Sign-Smileys/)

So get it through your thick skull: This ain't about you, your political affiliation, your ideas or your conclusions, nor is it some attempt to stifle your ability to express any of them. It owes to common sense and the respect of others that view the site.

And if you are incapable of entering into some areas of creative political discourse without the need of offensive visual aids, then perhaps political forums are not the best place for your opinions in the first place.

[hambon4lif]

Personally, I don't see how it's possible how anyone can color outside the lines. I guess you have to be on other boards in order to realize just how much breathing room you have here...I couldn't get away with half the shit I do anywhere else.

I've been able to share lurid tales of my random sexual encounters with loose women in public places, in graphic detail. And I'm able to do that in the proper forum.
If I feel the urge to start a photo gallery of my notorious, insatiable fascination of 2 chicks making out with each other, I'm able to do that in the proper forum.
If I feel like expressing my belief that most politicians are lowlife cocksucking scumbag motherfuckers, I'm able to do that in the proper forum.
If I feel like saying "Sammy Hagar licks the duck-butter from the crack of his fat mothers ass!", I'm able to do that too. (pretty much any forum, I think.)
And last, and certainly not least, I can fucking say "FUCK" whenever I fucking feel like it.

Trust me when I tell you that you can't get away with any of this on other boards. I've already tried.

It's all 'time & place'. There's an incredible ammount of liberties here and very few restrictions. Fucking up and crossing the line would have to be a conscious decision on your part.....you would really have to be trying.

I got no problems....I can roll with the quo!:happy0158:

[Nickdfresh]

Stickying this biotch...

[kwame k]

Guess I'll chime in, too.

As much as I post here I know that this is not my site nor do I really have a say in how it's moderated. What I do have a choice in and what everyone else does too, is that if I disagree with how this or any other place is ran.....I can leave and so can anyone else.

The rules here are very simple and not that hard to follow. We are given a ton of latitude here and, as Ham mentioned, there are sites out there that don't even come close to the freedom we enjoy here.

Strangely, there are people here that just don't seem to get it.

[LoungeMachine]

One look at the list of those who have cried "Censorship!" over the years, and the subject kind of makes you smile.

Andy [pedobear] Taylor

Thome [is this glue fresh?] Trailer

Black [ban me please!!]flag

Cadaver [I did not have sexual relations with that sock] dog

Hyman [she LOOKED legal] Roth

Jack [ass] mar


These clowns always get worked up because they think they have the RIGHT to say and post ANYTHING they want.....

:gulp:

welll chumps, hate to break it to you...but you don't.

[LoungeMachine]

I swear sometimes it seems as if these guys have been banned from every other site on the internets, and now THIS place is their last hope to speak....

Don't like the [very few] rules here?

Ok.

Then find another site. Plenty out there.

Can you make your arguments, and have discussions without going off the rails? Great, please contribute.

:gulp:

Why some think that they should get to do whateverthefuck they please here is beyond me.....

[kwame k]

Hey, we all say things in the heat of a debate that we may want to take back or even regret posting later but the fact remains that it's not hard to follow the rules here.

Who on God's green earth thinks that posting an aborted fetus is anywhere near acceptable.

How stupid do you have to be to post private or personal information on a web site and then get offended when people call you out on it or edit your post.

Luckily, it's just a select few morons who, in the face of losing a debate, try one last ditch effort to win the argument by offending or outrageous comments. Really, it just shows how little social skills you have to post some of the offensive or private information people have tried here.

[LoungeMachine]

Yes, thanks Kwame.....

I forgot all about having to EDIT disgrACE Diaper's posting of personal info of someone he knows who has nothing to do with this site....

He posted her FUCKING CELL NUMBER for God's sake......

:gulp:

JackASSmark had run out of argument, and had nothing left in his bag but SHOCK value....

The sign of a beaten down man.

[kwame k]

Sure is and if that's all you have left to resort to in a debate, it's better to just move on and post nothing.

The fetus thing didn't offend me personally but I can sure as hell see how it could offend people here.....I think the other thing that people don't think about is we have hundreds of people looking at our posts who are not registered members. If by some stupid act of one of the select few idiots here ruins it or causes any grief for the people, who mod this site without pay I might add, then I for one am all for the actions the mods have taken, period.

[hambon4lif]

Who on God's green earth thinks that posting an aborted fetus is anywhere near acceptable.Fuck it!...if no one else will, I'll say it!
The very same people who lack the education and vocabulary skills at their disposal to get their point across with words.

For example, if I wanted to drive a point home in the heat of an argument, and it involved an aborted fetus, I would be able to describe it with words to the point where you could see it yourself....every single time you closed your eyes. The ones who feel they have to post pics to make their point are the same illiterate shitbags who aren't worth debating in the first place!

Let's swing this political so as it's in the right place.....during one of the Teabagger rallys earler this year, someone saw fit to bring a graphic picture of the holocaust to one of their rallys.....not only did I find this extremely offensive (and if you're asking...yes I very much am, ok?), I wanted to pick up my monitor and give it a 90mph trip to the wall!!
If you're trying to make me see your point, there are other ways of doing so...showing graphic pictures isn't one of them. That only infuriates me to the point where I want to slash your tires, burn your house down, and fuck your mother in her ass. and that gets us nowhere.....

The best advice I have to give is.....if you're going to debate someone....do your goddamn homework first. You're on the World-Wide-Web motherfucker!!....it's not too much to ask.

[LoungeMachine]

werd.

:gulp:

[chefcraig]

Fuck it!...if no one else will, I'll say it!
The very same people who lack the education and vocabulary skills at their disposal to get their point across with words.

For example...

Damn, dude...that's fuckin' poetry! Sure you aren't related to Rimbaud? :appl:

Nicely done. :notworthy:

[ZahZoo]

It's cuntcerning though... the "obscene, vulgar, sexually-oriented" clause.

Seems to me that would kill 90% of all threads here... or are we just talking about no posting real pics of guitar shark?

I love it when you contradict yourself in the same post.

:gulp:

So you're for "some" censorship, so long as YOU decide what's out of bounds?

[Blackflag]

Who says Lounge Queer doesn't have a sense of humor?

Your mother wouldn't. She finds him engaging and funny as he ejaculates on her back...

[Blackflag]

My mom has been a corpse for years. So you're probably right.

[Hardrock69]

fucking hambon4lif motherfucker.

That was fucking poetry.
:D

[Kristy]

No dick pics

No personal information

No threats of violence

No *N* word, or other derogatory hate terms.

No pics of that would not be safe for work outside of the Picture-palooza



Okay, so I get it. The Roth Army is not a democracy and that the webmasters/moderators have the authority to edit, denounce, regulate and even delete content. I so wanted to make a joke here about the "no dicks pics" rule but I'll refrain.

[LoungeMachine]

Feel free....

The last person to get uptight about the "no dic pic" rule decided to post a "dick bong" to test the waters.

Yes, she was banned.

You're one of the more respected posters here, and I doubt would ever come close to crossing the lines. And if you did, would be given the benefit of the doubt.

But some here are only here to shock and cry censorship....

:gulp:

they never last.

[Kristy]

No, I'll refrain. It was a joke only. No visual content.

[LoungeMachine]

We're used to dick jokes around here.....

True.

But then again, doesn't this really describe every forum on the internets?

Are there actually any forums out there run as democracies? Or that has no out-of-bounds markers?

Granted, I'm no expert, since this is one of only 4 or 5 I've ever posted on in my life.

But aren't most if not all run by moderators and webbies who have a set of guidelines, which naturally are incapable of making everyone on the board happy?

:gulp:

[Blackflag]

Aww, Lounge has a crush on Kristy. Isn't that sweet?

Get off the internet and go take your 3rd wife to the Whataburger, loser.

[LoungeMachine]

You're so cattie when you get jealous.... :D

[Blackflag]

Cattie?

Sorry, I only get mancrushes on men who can spell.

Seriously, aren't you a little old to have a "cyber-crush" on somebody, dumbass? Go do something with your retarded family. They miss you.

[LoungeMachine]

:lmao:

And so it begins.....

Poor Yakima.

Just can't function without my attention.

Are you due for another plea to the webbies to ban you because you can't quit us?

:gulp:

[LoungeMachine]

Sorry, I only get mancrushes on men who can spell.





Hello, siggy :D

[Blackflag]

Deflection now? Don't be so embarrassed. There's nothing wrong with having a crush on a girl! It's just that most of us get it out of our system when we're 10, and not after we're divorced multiple times. :hee:

Carry on.

[Anonymous]

You mean you got girls out of your system when you were 10? And never looked back?

Hardly surprising.

Anyways, what's so wrong on having a crush on Kristy? I have a crush on Kristy. I think she's beautiful & intellu.. intelij... klev.. culev... smart. That's hot.

Cheers! :bottle:

[Anonymous]

She's got classy shoes, too.

Cheers! :bottle:

[Hardrock69]

Deflection now? Don't be so embarrassed. There's nothing wrong with having a crush on a girl! It's just that most of us get it out of our system when we're 10, :hee:



And so you are saying you outgrew girls at age 10 and moved on to men?
:hee:

[hambon4lif]

Sorry, I only get mancrushes on men who can spell.I personally hope you find the 'man of your dreams', and that he'll be able to help you with your posts.
Then maybe those sorry assed 3-word movie reviews of yours will finally come to an end!

[Hardrock69]

Once an idiot, always an idiot.

[Blackflag]

At least I'm not pro-censorship, choadgobbler. Think about it.

[sadaist]

It's not really censorship. This is one guys personal website and there are a few things he prefers aren't on it. Considering all the shit he allows to happen here, I think it's a fair trade off.

[Blackflag]

Hypocrite much?

I never said IT'S NOT censorship, you fucking moron.....

I just said YOU and every other mouthbreathing troll who whines about it can just suck it up and deal, or move onto another site.

:gulp:

Why now start The Yakima Army and post all of the pics of dead fetuses, dicks, and scat you want, followed by spouting the N word anytime you lose an argument....?

No one will care what you do, trust me.

But HERE, you have to follow the rules, or get flushed. :D

Your M.O. of course is to beg the webbies to ban you :lmao:

[LoungeMachine]

It's fair, and it's fine.

But that doesn't mean it's not censorship, and that's some ignorant shit. .

So it's fair, fine, and ignorant.

"the N word." What are you, fucking 7?

[Hardrock69]

Speak for yourself, loser.
:gulp:

[Blackflag]

Why the fuck would I ever want to speak for you?

"Would you like fries with that, sir?"

"Harder, Lounge!!"

[Hardrock69]

You cannot "speak for me".

You are not worthy to even dream about licking the bottom of my shoe after I have walked through a pile of Garshit.

Get over it.
