Guess the progressives and LGBT community are just godless heathens, and MUST BE SILENCED! unsure.gif
Sandra
No one is attempting to "silence" anyone ... we simply have rules that require all of us to be civil and inclusive.

Thank you.

A post which linked to a hate crimes website was posted under the limbaughism
religophobia thread it had no profanity, but it did expose what groups actually are bashed. This was silenced.

We don't remove posts if they don't break the rules in any way. Think before you post and make sure it doesn't threaten or demean anyone and you shall have no problem.

I started that post, however I didn't put any links. I didn't invite them either. I followed one link that a gay rights supporter put in , it led to a "religious site" and it was the nastiest crap I have seen. It bothers me that some homophobic people are allowed to spout their crap. I also am bothered by religophobic people too. Both sides have their share of nuts.
so angry I could spit

Was this the thread with the Phelps links, started with his latest anti-Swede diatribe? I'm not sure why it was considered religion bashing and emailed Sandra to ask. I certainly hope it wasn't shut down due to my explanation of why Phelps is anti-Swede. I'll let you know if I get a response to that one.

Yes i saw the phelps stuff i think, That guys a sicko. Under is saying something was linked in one of my posts without stating the poster. I don't post links to offensive sites. I do not think its bad to expose them, but if I did it, people might misconstrue me as supporting them. So I don't. I actually don't know any of the sites anyway .So I can't post them.

Well, welcome to the club. I had my first thread pulled yesterday (the original one about the prostitute calling the cops on her client for child porn).

You made a racist comment about Bush? Man, I'm just scratching my head on that one.

The sad thing is, half the time I hear stuff's been pulled I'm dying to know what I missed. I'm sure I'd be disappointed or agree it's inapprorpiate most of the time but sometimes I wonder if it's something that would have made me laugh. I guess I'm still a kid in some respects. Can we have a bad kid's room?

But then we'd be deprived of you knowledge because you'd always be in that room. Sometimes it's best not to know cool.gif

I read the Phelps post! Maybe I'm crazy but did anyone see the value in "encouraging" people who believe this to speak up more loudly and more often!
