What wierd happening sponsored this post? Did I miss another meeting?
(James says the following in laughing and flirty manner)
I guess I should thank you kddani for a definitive analysis of the purpose of the Bill of Rights as applied to the ideal of Freedom of Speech in America, and more specifically how it is applied by the moderators and the site owner to the workings of Greekchat.com.
Now everyone should know why there are deletions of threads, posts and posters . . we should all consider ourselves:
TOLD LOL.
I'm not going to go into my qualifications and background on First Amendment issues. How could I surpass the qualifications you listed?
Nor am I going to apply the First Amendment to GC business.
(James goes on a funny but more serious tone)
I
will point out that historically the battle is fought between two sides:
People that want to restrict what you can say and how you can express yourself. They usually claim authority, or talk about decency and the majority. They believe Freedom of Speech could be dangerous or subversive.
And . . .
The people that might hate what you say but will defend your right to say it, because they believe that its a slippery slope to start limiting Freedom of Speech . . . They believe one days its an opinion you don't like being limited, the next its your opinion thats not in fashion.
So the question is: Which side are you on? Are you a limiter or a defender?
Sorry, this has nothing really to do with GC issues. . . but I couldn't resist.
PS. kddani I am not really picking on you, I just think the topic is funny and the way you expressed it was interesting . . .
