He continued breaking the rules after being warned that he'd be banned if he continued. It's just a temporary ban though, so no need to cry.

Was buthead banned permanently? I miss his journal? And he wasn't as and annoying as oxy?

I hear what you're saying and I appreciate we all agree to abide by certain rules when we join a forum (although I doubt anyone reads those rules before clicking the accept button) but I think freedom of speech is more important.

If someone thinks I'm a c*nt, or worse, if someone hates blacks, if someone is sickened by homosexuals, if someone hates Jews, doesn't matter how stupid or hateful their opinion is, I believe they have the right to express it.

I believe that it would be a chaos if it were so. But on the other hand, it is a chaos already, ain't it?

People can express whatever they want, but freedom of speech doesn't mean you are free of consequences for what you said. Goes for everything in life, not just the Internet.

I know it's the same in real life. In Germany it's illegal to deny the holocaust, haha, they lock you up if you think otherwise and share it. Nuts. In the UK racism is illegal. Haha. Nuts. Human beings and their silly rules...

You don't have freedom of speech here, when you signed up you agreed to our rules.
Where you do have freedom of speech is to start your own forum under your own rules if you don't like the ones here.

You know what they say; any fool can make a rule and any fool will mind it.
