Free speech under threat! (19)

Sep 19, 2011 1:05 PM CST Free speech under threat!
I have just been banned from a certain thread because I disagreed with the author. A short time earlier another poster was banned for the same reason. He then set up his own thread which has now disappeared.

I urge all people who care about these forums to take note of the fascist bullyboy tactics that are being displayed at the moment and to take note.

Personally I find it interesting that all the other thread about the Presidency has done is show again once more the serious lack of solidarity in this country/republic. That's simply my opinion... ireland

I have also effectively been threatened with violence by another poster on another thread. This poster is welcome to post on this thread as far as I'm concerned. His own fascism will not drive me to take the same approach!

If you feel that you are genuinely being targetted by a 'bully' for whatever reason then you should report it to the powers that be. That's what they're there for...

Starting a 'poor me' thread won't do you any favours. Unfortunately the topic concerned is as much about the North as it is about the price of butter... McGuiness's track record as a politician qualifies him to become a candidate as much as Dana! roll eyes

Schoolyard childish behaviour . Don't give them a second thought Snow . They can put their thread where the suns rays don't reach if they're not mature enough to acknowledge different opinions to theirs and discussion .

Keep up the good work cheers

It's not just me but another poster too who's being attacked. I'd rather people make up their own minds about it than to 'run' to the powers that be.

thumbs up Fair enough - but if you're going to accuse someone of 'bullying' then it needs to be taken seriously.

What criteria determines whether any particular candidate has a right to run as president anyway?

In fairness to Sean Gallagher, i think he has some good ideas. What ideas have the rest of them come up with? confused

The mods instated the ability to ban posters from a thread in order that people could have some control over trouble makers. However, just like the thumbs up/down thing it hasnt worked out like that. Rather as a way for some people to just push their own agenda and not allow debate.

That's why I don't post much any more. The trolls have continued with profile after profile and nothing is done. I try to post politely and I'm banned off the thread. I start my own thread and its removed.

The only thing missing from CS is a tumbleweed emoction and a headstone.

RIP CS. It died from neglect and a thousand cuts.sigh
