Whatever happened to freedom of speech

[Elliot G.]

KNOW i CANT EVEN TALK ON THE NET

 

[Old Listener]

You appear to be talking on the net. I expect you'll continue to be so.

Freedom of speech died a long time ago. It's only a myth now days. Your freedom of speech ends right where someone else claims they are offended or might be offended by what you said.

As far as I know, WBF isn't owned by the US Government. You know something I don't?

What's your point? Are you trying to say that freedom of speech only relates to the government?

The problem with Freedom of Speech is that those who exercise it assume that others want to hear what they are saying or care about their opinions.

For my own edification, what the heck are we talking about???

Your "Free Speech" was nothing short of lame innuendo, unsubstantiated accusations with no specifics and no names.

Smacks of self righteous blather.

I assume he's talking about threads and posts getting deleted here...

I know every time I say something, Steve seems to get phone calls....

Elliot: Chill out buddy. Look at this way, you have never been able to talk on the NET. BTW: The NSA is keeping taps on everything we write on the internet and when someone is venting their frustrations that raises red flags. It puts you on the "to be watched list". I wish you well and this dismal economy will improve with time!

thank you!!!
Exactly.
Liberals all seem to love the concept of free speech as long as they agree with you.

 

[Elliot G.]

You can't type either.

Elliott referred to "freedom of speech." The Bill of Rights only apply relative to state/government action. In the United States of America we are supposed to respect a concept called individual property rights.

If Elliott had a forum, he could moderate anyway he feels necessary. It's funny he doesn't apparently respect the authority of WBF to exercise their right to moderate how they see fit.

US Government?

I don't think WBF wants to be compared to the fascist Obama regime who limits freedom of speech to only those who support the regime, now do you?

Personally, I have called Jon Valin on the carpet during his days of drooling over the Magicos. Funny how many here on this site have bad mouthed JV over his "pimping" for Magico. At least JV admitted to his sweetheart deal with Magico after my multiple vilifying comments but continued on with his praise for the speaker anyway. Those posts were never removed.

If KNOW there are people getting absurd deals direct from certain manufacturers. I don't know about those who own/run this site but I know it exists on other sites. I guess the question is, which came first the undying love of the product that led the person to seek out the best deal which ultimately led to a sweetheart deal direct from the manufacturer OR getting a product 1/2 price of what it would have cost to buy the competitions product which led to the undying love.

Personally all these individual reviews, etc would be worth a whole lot more if people, not just dealer and manufacturers, disclosed financial incentives either in absurd discounts or any other manner.

 

[Elliot G.]

so your definition of personal freedoms is WHOEVER is the boss has the right to delete everything else?

Hard to understand what you are so afraid of. Is it maybe you have something to hide Sir?
