I believe in freedom! |
Thank gawd that is what you meant. I didn't have you pegged as being dogmatic to that level. You tend to restrict it to economic issues, which I
seldom agree with, but at least understand where it's coming from.
As for the issue you cite, I don't think it is so much freedom haters as much as would-be censors. And really, wouldn't we all like to have Doug's
power? I know I would have impossed a censorship or two on this board if I'd had the authority, and at least one of us made it their stated objective
to drive me off the board in a thread dedicated to that purpose--a thread, incidentally, that got censored (deleted) by Doug.
While Skeet is harmless, he can inflame people (probably while he's huminisming 'em). Perhaps you don't see it because his politics align with yours,
mostly. That said, I respect his freedom to say the stupid things he says. If I find them objectionable, I have the freedom to respond to them, or to
simply ignore them or not read them at all. |
