[QUOTE]Originally posted by T e x: [QB] Yikes, CJ To tell the truth, I thought most everybody was up on "the rules" about message boards, forums, etc. Bottom line, Allstocks is no different from any other board in this one, basic sense: Members are [b]not[/b] in public. Even though it's cyberspace, it's nonetheless a private space. That's what I meant about being "Bob's house." In that sense, think about it being your own home. You can allow anyone you want in your own home. You can also ask them to leave. For instance, suppose someone starting hitting on, or insulting, your wife. Or your kids... Are you obliged to allow their complete freedom of expression? I'll answer that: NO! of course not. Why? It's YOUR HOUSE, [b]not[/b] the public square. Now, if someone slanders you or your family in the public square, you *do* have legal recourse, via the court system. BUT, you have no legal standing to have them removed from the public square...that is, no legal standing as you would if it were your own house/property. To take it to extremes: Do you think you should be forced to allow burning crosses on your property, simply because otherwise the KKK's freedom of speech is threatened? All that being said, you gotta concede we allow a pretty freewheelin' forum on off-topics. And THAT being said? I still support Pagan's call for higher discourse. ;) PS: by the way, anything that mods delete are first reported, logged, and saved to archive. Given some of the scammers that have tried to set up shop here in the past, such a practice is an unfortunate necessity. :cool: [/QB][/QUOTE]
