Well, there goes "Freedom of Speach" monitored by our holy man "el_tino". Of course, THIS is His playground, so we have to play by His rules.
I can't see why "dirty" / off color jokes would be banned as long as they don't depict unlawful acts... i.e. child pornography, rape, murder... etc
Just my opinion. No matter how lame my opinion sounds to you, I'm entitled to it.
This is a private place. There's no "freedom of speech." And Tino quite clearly explained why it was closed - it was too hard to police and get rid of the inappropriate content.
Moreover, he made it clear that his advertisers, who pay for this wonderful forum you use, threatened to cut him off if he didn't do something about the inappropriate content.
And furthermore, this forum has kids as young as 13. They don't need to see middle aged men talking about dirty sex and asking young women to send them naughty pictures.
And el_tino isn't a "holy man." He's the owner of this private forum. If you went to someone's house, and they asked you not to talk about sex in front of their 13 year old children, would you belittle the homeowners as "holy men" infringing on your "freedom of speech"? No, because they'd kick your a** out on the street. It's the same thing here - the owner of this private establishment gets the final say on what is allowed and what is not allowed.
There are lots and lots and lots of other forums online where you can talk about sex. They're not hard to find.
"And the problem that we have is we see people as they belong to certain groups and that they derive their rights as belonging to groups. We don't get our rights because we're gays or women or minorities. We get our rights from our creator as individuals." |
