"isn't this censorship?"

BTW, if anyone ever says this to me, I'm going to give the kid a civics lesson. See, it's like this: SDN is not a government entity, and I am not the government. It's not censorship for a private representative of a private entity to decree how that private entity's property is going to be used. Like, is it censorship if you're a cult member and I won't let you come into my house when you want to come in and talk to me about your wacko religious views? Or, must I permit other people to post their opinions on my own blog? You have the freedom of speech, but you are not guaranteed a venue, and private entities DO have the right to tell you to shut up and get off their property. People who don't like how SDN is run are free to go set up their own websites, and in fact, there is that spoof SDN site.

ha, i'd like to see you break into this speech. :laugh:

and that rSDN site is like the SDN twilight zone. mushy posts there and so does gujudoc. evo and mega are mods on rSDN as well. a lot of lounge regulars post post there actually. some of the names are fake though, like "DrYaah" is not really SDN's Yaah even though you'd think so. dont be surprised if you see your SDN username and avatar over there. :laugh:

LMFAO. I never thought of that. I visited that site once, but I haven't been back in ages. Maybe I'll have to go over and take a look, and if not, I'll register just so no one steals my ID. 😛

I had no clue there was another SDN site. :laugh: Too funny - I've seen that happen on so many other messageboards I post on. A group of people gets mad and storms off to make their own board. 😉

kids opinion on science: water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. there are 180 degrees between freezing and boiling because there are 180 degrees between north and south

I thought it meant Ann Arbor! I was like, why are people fighting about Ann Arbor?

Things are great up here. Still busy unpacking. I had a hard time getting my internet connected and have missed you folks! I have a bunch of pages to catch up on!
