What the hell? The last post on that "I hate straps" thread was a reasonable gwenevyn stating that she didn't really see anything wrong with the thread... I hit the reply button to say "Agreed" and the topic is LOCKED?

I thought the "I hate straps" post was a good, non-threatening way of certain people being able to vent a little about the fact that they're tired of all the freaking strap talk. I didn't see viciousness. It was frustration and a need to talk about something that's been bothering us.

This includes me. I want to talk about it.

I feel like I'm on a mission here, and I don't mean to give anyone an ultimatum (not that anyone cares) but I really need an explanation from a mod as to why it seems like we're not supposed to talk about straps or strapples when it's not intended to be hurtful.

I feel really s***ty right now because I'm feeling a little censored. I've always liked WP because of it's unique ability to filter out people who are really just out to be mean and insulting. Very few other forums do that. But what happens to the people who are able to voice dislike for things going on at WP- in an intelligent, rational, respectful way? Some of these people seem to be falling through the cracks too. I don't want to see that happen.

I really want to be able to voice my opinions here. Don't take that away from me. Maybe this is an overreaction, but I do tend to freak out when it comes to censorship.

I posted this in random because I didn't know where else to put it, and it's the same place the deleted thread I'm talking about was in. If it needs to be moved, please do so.

Blah, someone? Anyone?

Outside of the Adult forum, I always just try to use my own discretion.

I didn't read the thread, but perhaps it could have been interpreted as a flame.

I agree
I wanna tell someone if they're being a f*****g douchebag without the gay little stars censoring me
now I could care less about the strap talk-as an aspie I get used to the obsession talk
been there done that
though I desperately try to keep most my obsessions secret
but that's just me
I do agree with you
though there are some ass holes who will take things to far
(eg my thread that was supposed to be a say kind things about me and I got 3 pages of s**t from 2 members) :roll:
no matter what your saying some ass hole will always come along and ruin it

I want to propose that a special, uncensored section be created for adults, or those who are mentally adult enough to handle it. I want to be able to curse. I want to be able to say "straps p*** me off" without getting thread locked. I also want it to be separate from the adult forum so that there isn't all the sex talk mixed in with it. I want a section for people who aren't easily offended.

I don't want to leave WP. I want to help improve it.

The girl with the orange hair?

I saw a few old posts and wondered why she left before I got here. She looked neat.

I don't think threads naming other members and inviting negative comment are going to go well, really.

There's lots of annoying people here. Where would it end?

Hey Kilroy, you can say my name, I wont mind.

And the forum has to be protected, because people like Strapples are easily offended. I seem to get reported at least once a week by him. Its really tiring. The S&M picture (which showed nothing offensive, just straps) was deleted, which somehow protected the little children. Here you shall show no emotion that is in any way lewd, unkind, sexual, or otherwise provocative. Thanks for being human, but we don't need that sort of filth around here.

Welcome to the machine.

The reason the Anti-Strap thread got locked was that in the end there were a few posts that i and a few of my buddies here found offensive.

However, i DO agree with your idea of creating a "Hot Pot" forum...

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know. :roll:

Autism Speaks will NEVER speak for me

Have you ever read John Stuart Mill? Great guy, great guy, one of my favorite philosophers, though I don't totally agree with his utilitarianism.

If mankind minus one were of one opinion, then mankind is no more justified in silencing the one than the one - if he had the power - would be justified in silencing mankind.
-John Stuart Mill

I've never tried to silence your idiotic strap threads. Who is to say that they don't offend me? You need to stop being a crybaby who runs to mommy all the time.

their forum, their rules. Plain and simple.

as my dad used to say, "you don't like it, there's the door".
