kddani, no matter how you dress it up and make it formal with language about the constitution, all it boils down to is WHO you offend.
I for one, do not care if I offend anyone. Nor do I care if my post is deleted because someone was too sensitive to read my perspective. I care that I said what I had to say. I don't get all up in arms about GC...frankly, in my opinion, whoever does needs a reality check. But please let's not live under the guise of the First Amendment, "Free Speech." Call a spade a spade, and that is that if you offend seasoned members of GC, you are out, plain and simple. Well actually not plain and simple, you get bashed very personally first for expressing an unpopular opinion, then you are out.

I don't think most GC'ers see there being a problem with FREE SPEECH on GC. I would hope that everyone knows that for the most part you really can talk about anything on here.
However, Dionysus and Librasoul22 have stumbled upon somthing. I too have noticed that it is not necessarily WHAT the topic is about, but WHO gets caught up in it. For example, there was a forum thread(actually more than one) in which a certain GC're personally attacked a fellow member, calling this person everything under the sun, but a child of GOD!
This thread was pages long full of these post and just left out there for everyone to see. I know for a fact that is was reported to that forum's moderators.
Then after this GC're was banned, fellow members started a thread about the forum's moderators and their discretion (or lack there of) and of course it was locked/deleted with a quickness.
Maybe there needs to more awareness for ALL members as to what roles moderators play within their respective forum. Maybe something similiar to the "Pearls of Wisdom" that the moderators of AKA have kindly posted within their forum. I believe having something like that could probably cut down on a lot confusion :confusion:, by letting the poster know....Hey, what flies in XYZ's forum might not fly here.
This is just IMHO
