I just watched on Fox stories about Ukraine and Venezuela. Actual news. Yet this writer says they talk about Benghazi. The FCC is no longer going yo try to violate freedom of the press clause of the 1st amendment.
I am not worried. This got me know thinking about doing a survey of women's locker rooms and why they choose to wear certain yoga pants before or after showering. Think I'll put in some cameras and do a "survey"
I didn't even see this post. If this isn't an example of a poster having no other argument other than personal attacks, I don't know what is. I'm sure Denny will edit it out to make sure that I'm the only poster smeared in this instance, though. I doubt westnob even got a warning for this bullshit.
I still don't even get it. Wtf? Not surprised the morons didn't care about the crazy ass FCC bullshit because it just sounds like another thing lefties would dream up while getting high at their weekly circle jerk. So I didn't even bother to respond seriously but WHAT THE FUCK is that shit supposed to be?
I suppose that westnob finds this insult clever. I find him to be like a repulsive person for even posting that outrageous post.
I agree, that post was not acceptable. I deleted it and am talking to Westnob via PM. I'm sorry for not seeing and deleting that post sooner.
It seemed so out of left field. Like if a cashier gave me the wrong change and I started screaming obscenities at him and said he was Hitler. Trippy.
Wow, I'm surprised this was difficult to understand. Denny and PapaG were going all "it's the 1st amendment...", and Eastoff apparently wanted to try to show that "freedom of speech" isn't all inclusive, that some speech is actually regulated. First he went with the old "fire in a crowded theater" standby, and then used obviously inaccurate, inflammatory statements to simulate libel. He clearly (by my view, at least) wasn't intending to legitimately claim that PapaG and Denny engage in criminal activities; he just intended to illustrate that speech that did intend such a thing would be actionable under the law.
I understand that people with disabilities don't like being called retarded. His post was more retarded than anything I've read here in...well, I did just read a thread about trading Lillard. The analogy was pure stupidity and if you don't think the PapaG reference wasn't really an intentional act intended to strike the same nerve the Lupus and gun Hi PapaG avatar
He could have explained his odd point of raising pedophilia in the aftermath. Instead, he made the post, then hasn't posted since making those personal attacks. That's cowardly, IMO.
I've already been in the heads of barfo and NB3 in terms of them dedicating their avatars to me. Looks like westnob/eastoff joins the club by going fully in on the pedophilia smears. I'd like him to explain himself, if not now on the board, but during the MGB dinner on March 4th.
Why did my signature get deleted? The one where eastoff called me and Denny pedophiles? Selective moderation is bullshit. Let us self-govern the board via personal attacks on on signatures.
No that I come across as crazy, let me at least point out that Westnob/eastoff smeared bot myself and Denny Crane as being pedophiles. I find this to be disgusting, and the mods trying to sweep it into oblivion isn't helping. Let him own it. Otherwise, you're just escalating personal insults. If you erase those perverted smears, and expect posters to just forget them, well, that's not going to happen.
What's so hard to "get"? This explains it just fine. Eastoff could have saved himself a suspension by explaining his point. He has disappeared.
The Fairness Doctrine was voluntary and practically never enforced by the government. It worked fine as a philosophy. No one was ever punished. It was created to silence the majority of Americans who were on the left in 1949. They had been long since silenced by the time Reagan got rid of it, to allow conservative bias. That's when talk radio turned right-wing.
No argument here. While I thought the intent was clear, it obviously wasn't clear to everyone, so if my interpretation was accurate, Eastoff has a responsibility to ensure that that intent was fully understood by all. Not doing so is a severe disservice, both to himself and the two of you.
I took no offense, but it was out of nowhere. There's a difference between freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Speech isn't regulated, but if you do slander someone in the press or otherwise, you can be sued. I also don't think PapaG and I came to be opposed to this almost breach of civil rights by the government for the same reasons.
