A Petition to Admin
Edited on Sun Jun-06-04 08:13 PM by comsymp
Skinner, EG & Elad-

Whereas some members have made unsympathetic remarks today about Ronald Wilson Reagan, 40th President of the United States, and his Administration, and

Whereas we are in mortal terror of being deluged by the Rightwing Online Hordes tomorrow in retaliation for said remarks, wreaking havoc and spreading destruction in their wake, and

Whereas we are also terrified that Rightwing Radio Nutjobs may pick up on this and exhort their listeners to join in the cyber-carnage, and

Whereas self defense by any means available is sometimes necessary,

We request, beseech and implore that you immediately reinstate the only viable weapon which may be of use to us:

The _|_ (flipoff) Emoticon

Respectfully,

cs

6. If I feel like it I could always rename some files and
have something else show up where folks had deep linked to that one, though :evilgrin:

You're welcome to mirror it elsewhere if you don't want me playing with your posts, and substituting something like this where you'd meant to have this

10. Tempting- but personally, I like to think of
Edited on Sun Jun-06-04 08:58 PM by comsymp
the words of one of the great leaders in pubic education over the past decade or so, and pay homage to one of his more important statements on society, as it might apply here. Only hope I can do the spirit of his words justice:


Ummm, censorship is bad, mm-kay?

If you censor, you're bad, mm-kay?

'Cause it's bad to censor, mm-kay?

So don't be bad... by censoring,

'Cause censorship is bad.

MM-kay?

11. LOL I forgot that guy's name but he's so annoying
FWIW I'm not advocating censorship. People have a right to say what they'd like about Reagan; I have a right to my opinion about what they say. :shrug:

12. Absolutely, and you have (one has)
Edited on Sun Jun-06-04 09:08 PM by comsymp
the right, arguably the responsibility, to speak your mind. Suggesting otherwise would be censoring, right? And that's bad from any perspective... mm-kay?
:loveya:

I strongly believe in tact, courtesy, etc., for their own sake-- except towards certain RW pseudo-pundits. My problem is with any attempt to stifle alternative expression... perhaps especially out of concern for "what the (fill in the blank) might say."

FWIW, nothing I've seen you post has suggested to me that you're in the latter group. If I've missed it, especially if it was scathing, I apologize, though!
