So. We're not allowed free speech on this site?
We were having a good dicsussion about Huckabee and his religious beliefs vs his political beliefs, and for some reason the entire thread was deleted or moved. No explination.
I'm not sure why the askemehelpdesk forum God's get to determine what stays and what goes? If it was advertising, pure hate, or blatent stupidity, then I'd understand. But just a conversation?
Thanks staff.

Was not me, but then statements like you are just making, "forums God's" is part of the issues, many of your posts were pushing offensive,

Come on, son. It's not to difficult to figure out that cussing at people and name calling is offensive. Top that off with your inability to show some respect. Think about what you say before making comments like, "forum God's."

Yes, actually it appears the thread is still there,
And actually I challenge that your post here is not even the truth.
You posted this about 30 minutes after you did a post on that thread, and then you re-posted on that thread 10 minutes after posting this.
So I would wonder if this is more of a wanting to cause trouble post, than a real complaint.
And as noted, you have had some of your posts edited and some deleted because of words you are using.

Yes, the thread was moved, not removed.
1) That does not infringe on "free speech".
2) Free speech is not a guarantee on this forum anyway :)
"just Conversation" goes in the Member Discussion boards.

No, I did not "comemnted," I commented. And I did that on the member forum discussion back pages after it was moved from the public question board. Never once did I cuss this young man or call him names. I needed to get his attention for discipline reasons. You should think about keeping your anger in control while your at it. Making your way over to comment about a discussion that you didn't participate in is suspicious. I've read a few of your posts, "NeedKarma.";)

Hi Bobby,
I'm a crappy typist, that I know but thanks for the pointing out my typo. "Anger" you say? I realize that's your passive-aggressive way of trying to rile someone, try harder though. :) Thanks for reading my posts! You'll probably have noticed that I don't live by these anonymous discussion boards, they are but a diversion from real life.
Have fun and play nice with others, not just your little inner circle here.

There is no free speech on this or any other similar forum. This site is the property of the owners to do with, and make whatever rules they deem necessary.

Other than my use of facts, not passive-aggression, not needing an inner circle for dependency, not pursuing you to anger, nor caring about any anonymous aspect... I happen to agree with you. I like reading your posts for pure entertainment purposes. :rolleyes:

Tom- I agree 100%! It's a privilege to post on this site, but that privilege can be taken way at the moderator's discretion for any reason, at any time.

If you read the site rules, you will find out what is allowed and not allowed. Apparently you or someone who posted pushed the envelope.
Please research what is meant by free speech. Free speech doesn't mean you can say anything you want to in any way you want. Plus, like I said earlier, this site has definite discussion and posting rules the members have agreed to obey.

I've written objectional things out of anger on this site and felt bad after I clicked submit (why does that always happen?). After posting I fully expected to be edited or deleted and rightly so, not sure I ever have been.
So I'm saying that I think the moderators do a very good job editing and enforcing rules, I also find that you can write most liberally in here. If you cross the line then you will beedited, it is as it should be. Who would want to engage in name calling and insults anyway?
Glad to see everyone hugging and eating brownies:)

I really love those people who wrap themselves in the free speech argument without any real understanding of what it means. The first amendment guarantees that CONGRESS shall not make any laws that abridge the right of free speech. AskMeHelpDesk is not the US Congress. We arre a private enterprise, owned and operated by private individuals. As such we have the right to control how this site is used.
We do promote the free exchange of information and ideas, but not to the point where it becomes insulting, abusive or fighting.
