too frequent use of the 5th letter ?

There are times when I think your phonetic spelling is on the button, David...and other times when I think it to be a pain in the butt.

I suspect lots of people feel that same way.

One of the problems with phonetic spelling...is that we all do not pronounce our words the same way. Some of those (or thos) suthun folk pronounce words in ways that I can barely understand.

In any case, it is your thing...go with it.

You can tell the quality of someone by their enemies, and you, Coldjoint et al have just paid me an enormous compliment. Thank you.

You can tell a lot by someone who thinks views respecting freedom and obvious reality is an enemy. You are the loser here.

Have you contacted the mods to confirm those posts were the cause?

@Butrflynet,

I hope you're not going to ruin a perfectly good whinge thread by introducing the concept of basic logic and fact gathering, Bflynet.

I've just noticed some of mememe's posts have been NSFW'd, that has nothing to do with me. (I'm not complaining mind.)

Ruining a thread again Edgar?

Good grief, but there are some vampiric threads that can't be killed:

"Why do you believe the Bible is true?"

"Doesn't Religion Suck?"

"Why are Republicans A-holes?"

"Freedom of Speech on A2K"

You really have to be a clown to get censored in this forum. Stop griping and stop being a clown.

@Finn dAbuzz,

An unnamed member performs a service to A2K by identifying who the clowns are. Cool

Setanta is one of the absolute worst because he operates based almost entirely on logical fallacies and character assassination. I actually enjoy his acerbic delivery, but the problem is that it's based on hypocrisy, not logic.

If Setanta disagrees with something you write, his responses can be abrasive, but I do not agree with the allegation that he engages in logical fallacies or character assassination.

I am also sure that he is not the one reporting you for abuse. I'll admit that I don't know, and I certainly don't have proof. But I've interacted with him in various threads here over the years, and it's what my instincts say.

I'm going to try to PM you tonight with advice on combating abusive tags, but I also want to watch the election results, and am a bit of a procrastinator, so it might not end up being tonight.

One bit of advice: If you get suspended again and feel it is unjust, hit the "contact us" link at the bottom of the pages and plead your case as to why you shouldn't be suspended.

In practice, the opportunity to convey opinions is a privilege with which democracies struggle.

Only because anti-freedom elite put up restraints on free speech in the attempt to protect their wallets and their throats. Over the long haul it does not work.

You can say damned near anything at this site these days. This is a common whine of Whackeye, who doesn't seem to get that the facts that: first, this is a private venue and there is no obligation to assure freedom of speech; second, that there is freedom of speech here, which is why he can post his pathetic whining claims that his freedom of speech is being curtailed; and, finally, that freedom of speech does not mean that anyone is obliged to listen, or to take one seriously.

A private venue run by, and catering to cultural marxists/extreme leftists who have ZERO interest in truth.

Hawkeye is harassed DAILY on A2K simply because he has the balls to disagree with the mob. If he were female, he would be invited on MSN and Steven Colbert to "Speak out" about the harassment and threats that he receives.

...Oh, but I forgot, the mainstream media only gives a **** about people if they're privileged, white women with a victim narrative to sell.

The same criticismx i've just made apply to your latest, idiotic rant. This is a private venue, and the owners are not obliged to meet anyone's expectations of free speech. Nevertheless, the owners of the site accomodate a very wide range of expression, up to an including your hateful, misogynistic rants. Your freedom of expression here has allowed you to puke up your idiocy unfettered, for which your latest witless foray constitutes the evidence. Freedom speech does not mean anyone has to listen to you, and no one has to take you seriously. I certainly don't.

*Straw man attack based on ZERO facts. Simply disagreeing with or not accepting feminism's hateful rhetoric does not a "misogynist" make.

Well, I'll certainly lose a lot of sleep over that.

@Setanta,

I'm not denying that A2K is a private company. I'm merely stating that the extremist marxist attitudes that are running largely unchecked here are indicative of a larger problem in society.

The world is FULL to the brim with sheep who are incapable of thinking for themselves.
