If you have a complaint, you really
ought to post it in the overmoderation
thread. I doubt that Alex delves into
this topic.

Haha, need to learn one thing about the internet - there is no "Free Speech" guarantee here. No ACLU to run in and defend you. The internet is it's reality with it's own laws and one of them is "Whoever pays for the webspace decides whats on it" - Alex in this case. He and the moderation can do whatever they please, they have no obilgation to you or your wishes.

True. But incidents of crackdowns and
overmoderation cause the site to lose
members. Sometimes in large numbers.

A site depends on the membership,
and driving them away is pointless.

No depends on Alex paying the server bill.

Indeed. But advertising revenue,
along with serving the membership
probably have some influence on
his decision to do so.

Without members, he'd have neither.

Aye, but he could still continue to pay for the webspace.

In the end it's all in Alex's hands. Even no one posts WP can go on exsisting because he pays for it - if he doesnt and even 10,000 people post then it goes buhbye.

What is that you used to be able to say that you can't say now?

I'm really more interested in what people see as the cause of their feelings, if it's something they feel they have any control over. You don't count; you're on drugs. :wink:

Feelings seem to come and go, often at random. It's only some time after the fact and sometimes only years later that I understand what triggered off particular feelings that I had. Mabye it's an information processing lag?

I'm unhappy because I'm been cursed with a repulsive-looking face. As a result, I have to either be alone, date people I'm not attracted to, or pay for it all the time.

What exactly is repulsive about your face? (I'm not trying to be funny here) Maybe it's not quite a bad as all that? The most repulsive thing I can think of is if somebody had rotten teeth.

I agree with you. It seems like the governments of the world are run by monkies. Maybe we need to move to a planet where people are more sane. Evolutionists say that monkies turned into men, but I think that the reverse is true. Men are turning into monkies.

Sorry. This is the only planet on which you can live and it will be so for a long time to come.

Make what changes you can, make what adaptations you can. But you can't get off the planet and live.
