Note to FD
May 4th, 2010 at 9:01am
 
Out of common decency and morality FD, could you please delete the entire "comedy central" thread as it was I who started the thread and was not able further my comments and explanation on the topic due to shari'a law infiltrating the sacrificial morals of our nation.

I'd be happy if you could delete the entire thread.

Thanks very much FD.

Amadd.

Just a simple "No" would suffice.

I'm sure we could make this into something complicated.

Do you think that calls for even greater censorship is an appropriate response to censorship?

Not at all. It's only fair that I should be able to discuss in the topic that I started. Otherwise I'd prefer it removed. Simple.

Anyway, that was a week ago. Ancient history in forum terms.

It's not greater censorship, it's correcting a lie.
If somebody starts a debate and then is gagged and has all comments omitted, then the debate in itself becomes a lie.

It was initially hard to bear, but I'm over it now... with a little help from Mo' friend.   Smiley

I've moved on. I'm searching for something else to p!ss me off  Grin

I agree with this. To allow partial censorship skews the remaining posts to the point that they become meaningless or misrepresent the respondents' replies.

As for Abu (if you're referring to a thread on the Islam board), I think he is a coward and a hypocrite (not unusual for those who overtly claim the moral high ground by way of religious chauvinism). This is the same man who subverted censorship against him.

Treat others as you would like to be treated, Abu... It's the least you can do.

Yeah, it's depends on your stance FD. It's your world here, you run it.

Like I said to Abu (which was censored) , "You can censor me but you show yourself".
Well he showed himself to me with his censoring, but not to others because he deleted all of my comments. He kept his intent somewhat hidden to others and controlled the subject matter as a "dictator" not a moderator.
So it's up to you FD if you choose to interfere with moderators becoming dictators in your world, or if you simply choose to let them run their course.
Personally, I think that you've made the right choice to let some dictatorships run their course and accept that some dictatorships can exist with the advantage of this being within the safe confines of a chat forum. This isn't at a level where lives are at stake we'd all hope and assume.
At a higher level, stances would obviously need to be taken and decisions would need to be made. But at a chat forum level, I'm quite happy for people to display their secular idealisms and I applaud you for not pandering to impassioned pleas for righteousness.

The natural way of things is for the ridiculous to be highlighted as being ridiculous, so I'll highlight my point once again and ask why the Mo'
clip should be so offensive and ask why we should be pandering to people who haven't the ability to have a chuckle at themselves once in a while.

Warning:200th episode of Southpark clip contains actual image of Mo' which was once displayed without repercussions and also a chick with nice cleavage.

So whether deleting a post is censorship depends on your stance? From what stance is it not censorship?
