One is that this place is public. It is not. you had to apply and be accepted. It's a private place, belonging to Bill and Kerry. What they wish it to be, is what it will be. Those who find they can't agree with their purpose and mission statement for this forum are welcome to find a more suitable playground.

Second is the notion of free speech on this forum. The desire of both owners and the mod team, is that free speech be the reality here. But it's not a right. It's a privilege, which exists within the rules, guidelines, and spirit and purpose under which this forum was created.

A member here simply does not have the right to treat other members in a disrespectful, discourteous manner.

Your freedom to leave far surpasses your freedom to say whatever you like, regardless of the effect that will create on other more congenial members.

I'm not saying I think you should leave or don't belong here. I've seen lots of your posts pushing for getting into action on some sort of plan. Sounds like you're action oriented. What are you doing in that regard? Action oriented people are going to see their person stock rise in the near future, if I'm not mistaken. Action needs a channel.
Not a public place. Private. Free speech not seen as a right but a privilege here. Limited within the bounds of the desires of the private owners on the internet space who claim everything within that space as their own.

This is not my paradigm or something I will ever agree on. but I will agree it is there right to choose that paradigm for themself. Even if I did not agree the laws of nature dictate them the power to ban me. However it does not empower people this paradigm so I conclude it is immoral. I am here because I am myself, my rights is never a privilege or property of another person.

Since I don't agree with this paradigm they can either let me be myself or ban me. I respect people but I am going to think for myself what is best. If others did the same we would not have globalization. This was not an assumption I made it was a conscious decision to know and follow what is the more effective and empowering system of operation in a forum.
