[wanderingbear]

If the Democrats cant honnor Free speech,And from what Ive seen in D.U. They cant. Then My vote will NOT go to any Democrat.I will totally vote Green Party down the line this year.. And with this post I will be baned from this site so see you later.
The Democrats are a dead party trying to lead a dead nation.

1. Well...

I spend some time in Sean Hannity's forum: http://www.hannity.com/forum/index.php

There are a lot of Democrats AND Republicans there, and the debates can be both ferocious AND rewarding. I've both changed other's minds and had my own mind changed there.

This forum is so restricted that it sometimes reminds me of a high school chat room.

I would really like to see what some of you DU people could do over there, where you've GOT to know your stuff or get laughed at by left and right alike.

[mopinko]

2. right on

you are right about this board.

[mmm]

3. non sequitur alert

you are not voting Democratic because of what people say on
this Internet chat board... wha?!
What in God's name are you talking about?

[wanderingbear]

5. No not just this board..Most every lib board

ive come across has adopted this policy.

[mmm]

9. I don't look at too many boards

what you say may be true. Still a shame to through away
a perfectly good vote.

[edzontar]

7. Obviously not very committed to the DP in the first place.

Duh!

[wanderingbear]

24. Truth first!! Web boards way there down the line....

[Mercurius]

4. Make your decision based on your intellingent thinking through

of the issues, not on any chat room or board or news program or radio show.

[edzontar]

6. Goodbye, and happy new year.

8. cut off your nose to spite your face approach?

pfft, whatever, go away then

[mmm]

11. We gotta FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT for every vote! :)

Let's offer him pizza pie, ice cream, a car ride to the zoo...
and (did I say pizza pie, yet?)!

Or then again, perhaps not.

[sid dicious]

10. Wander on my friend

If you feel that way because of this board...then you're probably better off not voting anyway. :shrug:

Now, away with you and good luck (sincerely).

[wanderingbear]

13. Im of the Beleif that you eather have free speech our you dont..

I dont beleve in grey areas on this.

[Zorro]

12. Who are the Docrats?

Wanderingbear, you ain't one of of them thar hippie "dead" heads ah reads about, are yeh?

[Bucky]

17. heh, cute

I believe he meant "D'Oh!-crats". Of which I am proudly one.

[babzilla]

14. can you give an example

of what you have seen here where free speech has not been honored?

Are you referring to the few rules that have been established by the moderators which serve to keep this forum from being an unpleasant free-for-all?

Sorry to break it to you, but no, with this post you will not be banned. So see you later.

[wanderingbear]

16. The Last theree threads I posted were deleated bythe moderator for content

[babzilla]

21. perhaps you should review the rules then

or start your own liberal board with your own liberal rules.

[wanderingbear]

23. Its the Rules that I question.Like every other freedom loveng individual.

[Maeve]

15. Free to leave

YOUR FREEDOM TO LEAVE

All visitors to the Democratic Underground website are here voluntarily. Nobody is forcing you to post on this message board. The administrators try their best to be fair, and to make Democratic Underground a welcoming place for progressives who like Democratic Underground and who want to be here. If you don't like Democratic Underground, or the members of Democratic Underground, or the way we run Democratic Underground, then we strongly suggest that you exercise your right to leave. If we decide that you don't like this place very much, then we reserve the right to show you the door ourselves.

18. Not the point..Censorship is something that repugs do.. Not liberals.

[Maeve]

19. Then try this--also from the rules

Questions about Democratic Underground policies belong in the "Ask the Administrators" forum. All discussion topics relating to Democratic Underground policies, procedures, enforcement, etc., which are posted outside of the "Ask the Administrators" forum will be locked or deleted.

26. When you sign onto DU, you are asked to follow the rules

If you don't like them, you shouldn't sign on.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

25. While that is clear, insted of addressing them with discourse

or conversation, they are addressed down there and locked with a "cram it up your ass attitude" that smacks of "my way or the highway." The policy of locking threads in 'Ask the Admin' after one has gotten their pithy answer only leads to this impression.

28. Humm..Im surprized it still here to..

[Fovea]

27. And with this post I will be band from this site...

What kind of band? Marching, bluegrass, or speed metal?

Goodbye Wandering Bear, I will miss the incisive edge you brought to the discourse. I will miss the in depth analysis clearly shown in the above post.

</sarcasm>

BTW, if your final existential whimper about the 'Docrats' is correct, there is no point in your voting for anyone. Get a big-assed gun and start shooting all politicians, or STFU. And if, by some fluke you are not banned, note that the spell checker will not protect you from inappropriate homonyms. That requires more care with the English language than you are currently taking. Otherwise you end up looking like just another 'moran.'

Finally, one man's free speech, is often times another's flame bait.
It takes a bit of thought to clearly discern the difference.

29. I am locking this thread.

If you have any questions about DU rules or the enforcement of the rules, please ask those questions in the Ask the Administrator Forum.

Thank you.
