    Censorship and corruption never works. It is flawed by nature. Many before you thought that it works too until everything crumbled around them. Read the history. ;)

    Did I say he was corrupt? :confused:

    It seems he is supporting censorship and in my opinion censorship is the foundation that corruption is built on. Why there will be any need for censorship if not to support the abuse? :confused:

    People who have nothing to hide, do not need censor.

    I'm surprised to hear that you are so adamantly opposed to censorship, gworld, considering your eagerness to ban all manner of sites from the ODP for expressing points of view that you consider repugnant.

    They are not expressing a point of view, they are engaging in a illegal act that harms others. There is a limitation to free speech as it is defined in the laws of every civilized country but exposing corruption and abuse is not part of it.

    I find it very hard to understand that you defend the free speech rights of pedophiles while at the same time support the censorship of those who like to end the abuse in DMOZ. :rolleyes:

    ROTFLMAO!!!! I can't believe that you can actually compare people wanting to have a civil forum where most topics stay on topic as censorship! That's the funniest thing I've heard from you yet, gworld. Most forums have what they call basic posting rules, some more lenient than others, you know, the rules that (this is a very Important word -->) every poster has to adhere to. If you are getting warned and banned for 10 days, then maybe it's YOUR behavior and not everyone else's? Without those basic rules for everyone to follow then there will be chaos, a good example of this is Mogadishu, Somalia where there hasn't been a stable government in years to enforce any rules; don't let it slip your mind that some rules (censorship as you call it, lol) are important to having a civil society and message board. What you're proposing is virtually message board anarchy, but then again, it doesn't surprise me since it fits right in with your message board trolling, and even though DP has some of the most lax posting rules I’ve seen, they are still rules for everyone to follow, and the only way to have the message board you want is to create it yourself. Come back to the real world, gworld, and you'll see that your version of reality really isn't reality.

    And, don't try to say that the people who are trying to get you banned are trying to censor you, because even you should know that's not true. If you aren't breaking any of DP's posting rules then nothing's going to happen. Take responsibility for your own actions and stop blaming others for wanting to "censor" you.

    Here's one simple question for you to answer. What makes you think that you're so special that you don't have to follow DP's posting rules while others do? I'd LOVE to see the answer to that question! Or, what's most likely to happen, your ignoring the question and focusing on something completely different!

    Now, back to your regularly scheduled (although pathetic) "whoa is me, I'm being censored" gworld rant. :D

    Isn't it just fascinating to see all the DOMZ and RZ apologists populating this thread, gworld? Must be a slow day at The Resourceless Zone and in the internal forums... :rolleyes:

    Why aren't you all over at WPW with cbp/Birdie? He'll make sure you're taken care of.
