Let me tell you about the consequences of your actions, Uhtred. My husband is one that you banned, if you recall. Why? Because he got upset with you. I’ve seen people use the exact same language he did and there was no ban for them! My husband is the reason I’m even on this board. I was skeptical of Q but for months he would get so excited about a new post and it inspired him! When that fraud pedophile asshole was inaugurated, he started losing momentum and I had to keep the hope for both of us. He is a disabled, retired veteran who served his country and paid a huge price. Yes, he’s blunt! Yes, he swears! That’s what military men do! Your banning him was almost the last straw!! I thought this forum was about support! Information! Encouragement when there’s so very LITTLE for us to go on!! It’s almost pure faith at this point! My husband never used the n word, I don’t, I’ve never seen anyone else either but YOUR actions...if you do not understand or acknowledge the inappropriateness of your behavior then I don’t even know why you’re here, much less a mod.
Uhtred, thank you. I really appreciate and respect your humility. I do not know your perspective because it is not mine. It is not possible. Maybe if you take in to consideration that here we have inalienable rights. Rights that cannot be taken away because they are our birthright. Yes, I consider myself the luckiest person to be born here.
So imagine being born in to a culture where you have rights, you know what it’s like to live free, and then have that being taken away! That’s very different than never knowing freedom in the first place. It may seem like just one word but that’s how all of this started. Hate crime. Hate speech. Thought police. Censorship. We have been having our freedom taken away...not all at once...but one word at a time.
I guess we feel like we have to draw the line somewhere. When we try to make concessions because we don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, that’s where they get ya because it became ALL about OTHER people while no one gives a DAMN about OUR feelings! I’m a white patriot. I am the category of citizen that it’s politically correct to mock, attack, offend, and now I’m a domestic terrorist so I may not be able to fly... I am the shit on everyone’s shoe.
I’ve drawn the line. No more will I concede. I’m sorry if you were unfairly the target of this frustration. I sincerely thank you for your response.
From the peanut gallery: these threads are really making me happy. So glad to see the love you and your husband share. You are blessed. Spread love everyone!
I am the one you accused of calling you a pword. I didn't call you a pword. I asked if you were the pedophile that I had recently heard about. There is a difference. I was being an asshole for sure. I am a harsh person with zero diplomacy and I go overboard at times. I have been censored so much on other sites that it really frustrates me when I detect censorship in anything. I am a firm believer that anyone should be allowed to say what they want. I don't use this mighty and very naught nword but censoring people isn't the answer in my opinion. In my experience it rarely ever ends with just one word. It is easy to start down a slippery slope. We live in a crazy world that , just a few years ago, would have been unheard of by most people's standards. Yet today we are in a world where it is common to cancel someone for a political belief or wrong think.
He probably did call you a pedo. That word has become the one insult that you can’t even type in any other forum so that has become the word that my husband uses when he’s very, very upset. I’m not going to apologize for him because he is responsible for himself but I will absolutely defend him. He’s my partner.
But I will say he didn’t intend that word in its specificity. He intended it as a general insult.
I am going to step in here. There is absolutely NO reason to call anyone a pedo simply out of insult. With privalige comes responsibility. Freedom of speak doesnt mean we start disrespecting. I love this site because it has not turned into what facebook currently is.........hateful.

Thank you. My 3 day ban turned into a 14 days to flatten the curve situation I guess because I was banned far more than 3 days ago. Lol
I enjoy that account.
Me too! Oh, do I EVER! ;-)

So are you ok if I called you a name, you pedophile who enjoys diddling little boys?
I don't care what you call me. You don't know me. I do know you're proving yourself to be a fucking cunt though

Freedom of speech in the US is not a privilege, it’s an inalienable right, thanks to the Constitution.
You are very discerning. I will approach the subject with him. Thank you for the offer, Uhtred.
