NEVER LET IT BE SAID THAT I TRY TO SQUELCH FREE SPEECH. NEVER.
I went way out of my way at a very early morning hour to extend this accommodation to Mr. Hufnagel. I carefully chose the subject title and even got this thread started with the first post so there would be no confusion as to why this is now here...Nothing oppressive with that is there?
Here's a place where Jim, Mindcrime or anyone else can post negative crap all day long about Popes, religion, child molesting or anything or anyone else that is fueled by hatred--and NOT DEBATE.
I don't see this as my being Hitler-like as I've been accused.
Oh, and one other thing, please don't tell me what I should or should not dare to do.
My very best regards and have-at-it boys and girls.

Hmmm... "Say whatever you want, as long as you're in your own hermetically-sealed environment where you have no chance of getting your opinons heard by others. Get in your box and stay there!"
Ummmm, nope.

If you choose any truth and follow it blindly, it becomes a falsehood, and you, a fanatic.
It's akin to being told you can print your letter to the editor, but only in the Pennysaver, not The Buffalo News or the Niagara Gazette. So your opinion is out there, but only a limited group will ever see it. Meanwhile, all the like-minded people get their letters printed in the major mediums. Like we're the riff raff or something.
If I'm reading a discussion or debate and I have something to say about it, I'm going to chime in on the relevant thread. Otherwise it's not a debate anymore, it's just a lot of backslapping for being right about everything. What's the point of posting if the people you're trying to reach won't read your post, because it's in the 'negative' thread???
Because someone doesn't agree with him, he wants them to sit and type in the penalty box?
P.S. no offesnse to the Pennysaver, y'all rock! But lots of offense to the other two, they suck
