I have noticed that the moderators of these boards keep editing and changing peopes post. THAT IS WRONG, VERY WRONG. LET PEOPLE SPEAK THERE MINDS AND STOP KICKING PEOPLE OFF AND EDITING WHAT THEY SAY. The people on this board are very mature and should have the right to say what they say. SO LET THEM SAY IT, AND STOP EDITING FORUMS! IT'S WRONG. THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY RIGHT????!! THIS SHOULD BE A FREE SPEECH FORUM!
Freedom of speech!

hey
THanks go_global,
welcome to the site, I am actually one of those moderators. We love being as open to different points of view as possible. Pilmboy crossed the line a little with some of his other posts and was eventually booted.
Looking forward to getting your thoughts about the causes we focus on in these message boards.
Do you even read what you
Do you even read what you write?
I have been a member on these boards for about half an hour now, and allready I have realized that you are a very disrespectful poster. You tell the moderators to OPEN THEIR MINDS...but do you open yours? The way to reply to other people that have views contradicting yours obviously shows you are not even a mediocre communicator and really need to learn more about major issues and diverse beliefs before you start critisizing them. Who are you to say that everyone on here was raised in a rich, white home? You tell the moderators that they MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING from you, and I'm sure that all of us have. I know that I learned from you that judging the other commentors opinions and rebelling against the rules (which you accepted before starting your account, btw) will not get you a good reputation on these boards. Please consider toning down what you say, it doesn't mean that people aren't interested, but we can all control ourselves a little. Right?
Re: Freedom of speech!
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey Heroes, I want to thank you for defending me on the Drug Abuse board. That really made me happy, as I was getting very very mad.
Re: Freedom of speech!
You are more than welcome. I don't consider my day to be complete until I've destroyed the hopes and dreams of at least 8 young men.
Re: Freedom of speech!
Your version of a stroke of genius is putting people down, and causing problems. Which is not what we do here.
Re: Freedom of speech!
Thank you Hero for getting rid of my master piece. YOu know you got rid of it! why did you get rid of it, it was a stroke of genius
Re: Freedom of speech!
Thank you Heroes, see my post for you, on the Celeb with meaning board.
Re: Freedom of speech!
Well, you're already wrong on a few counts. Who said that I was raised in a white home?
Second of all, you ARE free to express your thoughts - just within the site rules. I don't care how foolish or bizarre your opinions are; if you don't break the rules, I don't have a problem with them.
You break the rules. I am open-minded but I will NOT make exceptions for you.
Re: Freedom of speech!
okay sir, I am so sorry for expressing my thoughts. I could have sworn that this site was suppose to be a site desighned for young adults to express there views and ask questions. Just becasue i communicate it in a different way than you do, or some of your other little friends ( godismyhero, Ushergirl) doesn't mean that I am wrong or trying to break the rules. I think you need to be more open minded and understand that not all of us were raised in rich white people's homes our whole life with every educational opurtunity at our finger tips. OPEN YOUR MIND, YOU MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING FROM SOMEBODY THAT DOESN'T USE PROPER ENGLISH AND THINKS THEY KNOW EVERYTHING. thank you
Re: Freedom of speech!
The moderators of this forum have never kicked anyone off. They edit very rarely and only in cases when it is justified. The rules of this forum are very clear and posted at the bottom of each page; usually, we don't have to deal with violations.
This is a free country, but these are private forums. You joined them of your own free will, and if you wish to remain, you must abide by the rules that the owners of this site have set up.
You, as a newcomer who has already violated almost every rule we have, have no right to judge the maturity level of those on these boards. Neither does it give you to right to call our moderating practices right or wrong.
