    I like this idea, we could call it: Stream of Thought with your pal Mixum

    Kinda like a Mr. Rogers neighborhood with en even more creepy host?

    If ever I start to doubt freedom of speech, it'd be here and with Mixum. And it's tempting. Very tempting. But in the end, if we let barfo post we have to let Mixum post, too. So, in theory a great idea, but as a practical matter we're screwed.

    I don't see this as censorship, it is more of an intervention. He can say whatever he wants in his one post or sticky thread. Kinda like a padded room, more safe for him and the rest of us.

    :confused: Mixum is not allowed to post in the offseason, yet the season IS over.

    I'm all for freedom of speech. And, I'm also all for freedom of choice. The trolls are free to post whatever they want. And, I am free to ignore things I think are a huge waste of my time. No one's "rights" are violated (this is a privately owned forum, so this isn't a civil rights issue, it's a policy issue by those who own/run the forum).

    And, it's not about who I like and dislike. I'm agnostic about the trolls. I ignore them. So, their actions are irrelevant to me.

    I think public school teachers should only be allowed one post a week. The rest of their time should be spent doing the job those of us in the private sector are paying them to do.

    Interesting suggestion. Does that mean they have to teach after hours? And if so, are you offering to pay them to work those extra hours?

    Although maybe we should have a rule. All ass holes can only post once during a 24 hour period.

    Boy, did I waste my 1 post...

    I'm already paying your PERS pension. I can't even afford to pay toward my own retirement right now, but I'm contributing to yours. Enjoy!

    Also, I may be an asshole, but I'm the asshole who is paying your state salary and your state retirement. Enjoy!

    One more thing ... as someone who owns my own business, I don't have "extra hours". I have "always hours". Enjoy your summer, Freeloader!

    I'm glad I read the entire thread before I responded, because BNM expressed my thoughts on the issue better than I could have done. Repped.

    You know Papa it is basic forum courtesy to leave the shit that goes on in the off-topic forum, in the off-topic forum. Got it?

    Seriously keep that shit in the off-topic, that is why it is there.

    Mods can you clarify this please? This is the Blazer forum correct?

    How is taking a poll about MIXUM relevant to the Blazers? It seems it would be basic forum courtesy to not call out an active poster with a stupid thread that is on the Blazer forum.
