You know, Hobo, I found it absolutely hilarious that you decided to take the opportunity to berate CAD because no one had started a thread about the Haiti disaster. Once again, we are graced with your ultimate superiority and we, as messageboard faithful, have failed the great GolfHobo because we did not start a post on Haiti. Give me some time, oh grand one, and I will begin posting the lists for people to start reporting to the termination chambers. And please do send me a list of required posting subjects and exactly when they should be posted, so I can immediately get them in the rules for your faithful flock.

In short, I am not free to be me, which explains my diminished participation lately.
I see no difference in your current hateful and condescending post compared to hateful and condescending posts of the past. If being “me” is all about putting people down and kicking them in the teeth because they have the audacity to believe differently than you, then perhaps you should have simply left. The martyr complex you are playing is an absolute joke and your diminished participation has not caused an uproar in the faithful and caused them to beat themselves bloody in supplication to you, in case you were wondering. :roll:

And now, it seems, even THAT is not enough. Freedom of Speech has become as rare and "endangered" here as it EVER was in any "socialist" or "totalitarian" society.
You know, for one that claims to be as enlightened as you claim, I find it ridiculous that you still have not latched onto the fact that this is a messageboard; it is run by a company; freedom of speech does not exist here. Never has, never will. In other words…and I’ll type slowly here so you GET it…you can pontificate on your pulpit all you want, but as soon as you start getting hateful and nasty to other posters, you’re going to get knocked off your pulpit and right on your ***.
And before you decide to quote me and claim that I am the one being hateful and nasty, save it. Right now, I’m simply being as clear cut as I can and it’s not my fault you haven’t figured it out yet.

Timberwolf and a few others who, like me, chose to present a differing opinion have been "run off" NOT by any misconduct by the moderators.... but, by an overwhelming wave of alienation by the Conservative "faithfull."
Timberwolf was “run off” because he got his hind end handed to him in political debates and instead of taking it like a man, he whined and cried about his hurt feelings because we were not as ‘enlightened’ as he was. He begged to get banned and when we would not accommodate his inability to think and act for himself, he went with making straight out nasty insults toward GMan, hoping that would force the ban. When GMan shrugged his shoulders and didn’t lower himself to Timberwolf’s level, he finally resorted to posting deviant sex crap, knowing we would then have no choice. It was a completely chicken**** thing to do and absolutely invalidated any argument he ever made on this board. And the funny thing is, of the liberals on this board, he was the one that I considered as having the most common sense, even if I did not agree with him. Boy, did I peg HIM wrong.
And finally, this is a conservative board, populated primarily by conservatives, a good many who are not shy in speaking their mind and having the brass eggs to stand fast on their convictions. So you are either going to have to learn to deal with it or head over to the Layover political board where you can be entertained by 3 of the most hateful liberals you will ever meet. Of course, they are the only 3 posters on that board, so you would likely never have to deal with conservative values again. You whining here on CAD about that vast difference in numbers between liberals and conservatives is akin to an atheist in a Catholic discussion group, wondering why no one believes as he does. In short, your views and your ideals, are not going to be the views and ideals of the majority of this board. If you choose to post them, expect to find serious resistance.
Always.
Maybe someday that will sink in.
