Goodby all.

[pdawg_shooter]

I just had a post pulled because I spoke of the abuse of police power in this country. To me, this is an infringement of my first amendment rights. We here, I think, are ardent supporters of the second amendment, but if someone takes exception to what we say our post is pulled. I can not abide by this so I will, with great regret, leave this forum. Goodby to everyone here that I have enjoyed for so long. I wish you all the best, but I stand on ALL my rights, not just the one of the Second Amendment.

It does blow that a singular group is sacred, sacrosanct, and protected against legitimate criticism for obscene abuses of power. The cry baby whiners have carried the day and irrational censorship now is the rule. Sad.

Just to make it clear. The First amendment says that the Government cannot curtail your speech. Not a private organitation(spelling?) or company. This is one of my pet peeves. People invoking the First amendment out of context.

Thank you for putting up with a small rant.

Thank you for the Constitutional lesson.

As glitchy as the board has been recently, I wouldn't put a lot of money on the staff pulling any posts.

My house my rules, their house their rules. This is the forum moderators house so I guess they make the rules.
Frankly having a post deleted after 3,700 posts is almost the definition of no harm = no foul.

+1 on the 1st amendment has nothing to do with any private entity such as a forum. You are also constitutionally entitled to a free press but you do have to publish your own paper to exercise it as suits you.

Seems a bit thin skinned to me based on the info provided.

Thank you for further clarifying the First Amendment and it's lack of application to a private forum.

Were these police shooting cast boolets?

I'm not an old timer here, so I doubt my opinion has much weight, but it sure seems to me that people would be happier here if they just talked about casting and shooting lead bullets.

The Pit = Politics
Don't go there if you don't like it. The Pit is popular for good reason.

False.

[jmort]

In what regard?

[Bullshop Junior]

The pit has three sub forums, only one of which is political and religious.

It was originally humor and off topic and more for jokes and the likes, and I believe was even taken off the forum at one time when people started posting to much political stuff on it, causing fights and butt hurt.

[lefty o]

i agree, your in someone else's house here, you follow their rules or hit the road.

[jmort]

O.K. There is a Humor section as well, but the Complaint forum is empty and intended as such. As stated, stay out of the "Political/Religious" section if you are prone to whine and cry.

[Bullshop Junior]

Or you can be like me. I honestly don't give a (enter choice word) so don't go there.

Adios & good luck.
