Well, some would say that. I don't think Skip's intention is to "annoy" anyone, but certainly this forum COULD be shut down by feds very quickly now.

I doubt it'll happen before election season, but just in case, it's sure been nice meeting you good folks, and I hope someday we might again have a free America.

 

there is something so sad about that.

 

That's a gross understatement. I wouldn't classify it as "sad", but more along the lines of "horrifying". What we are being faced with is living under the confines of a choking dictatorship that's enforcing "values" of servitude and obedience, and yes, slavery. When open forums are closed down due to it's political CONTENT, it's a tad bit worse than just "sad", as though we're watching a sentimental love story.

 

It's not just targeting the political pundits...

 

"fuck 'em....fuck all that signed this bill in the ass!!" no wait, that might not be annoying to them. How can i know????

 

That's bad news, man.

 

amen brother!!!

 

Believe it's congress behind the bill not to mention most of the Nation's problems - not Bush.
There is a diff...

 

Does it apply because we are in a closed environment... [to a degree..] we sort of know it each other ??.

Is it a responsibility of skip to weed out such people that 'annoy'.. thats me friggin gone then ..

Or would it just involve websites having to have a stricterer admission policy.. divulge more info too Skip say.. ?

I just don't see the reason this forum would close down ?.

Would it take somebody to complain about the content before it became a problem ?..


"Whoever...utilizes any device or software that can be used to originate telecommunications or other types of communications that are transmitted, in whole or in part, by the Internet... without disclosing his identity and with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any person...who receives the communications...shall be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than two years, or both."

Personally half the content that people would think 'annoy' whoever would make most people laugh ..

Using fuck.. that many times is really annoying me.. oh dear your in trouble.

 

oh my god! There was a response after mine that was deleted about george bush and the word fuck used a bunch of times saying that this country is becoming more and more fucking facist every fucking day and a bunch of other great remarks. Why was this edited out? it was true!!! God this is getting fucking scary.

 

oh, i guess i missed it in the post above mine! ha! well, at least iit's still in here. Great remark! whew!

 

Geez, this is so scary..I wish I had something more thoughtful or intelligent to say about it, but my jaw has just dropped to the floor... :$

 

woahhh,
that is some sick stuff o0

 

Skip, does this affect the open discussion of things that are illegal?

Our rights really are being stripped away more and more, and it doesnt seem to concern the masses. What is it going to take?

 

That applys to E- messages, you know e-mail ect. It does not apply to public forums where users enter under their own will. Keep up the fight, it's not our fault that Bush is a liar and a war criminal hell bent on conquering the world to satisfy his lust for power. Fuk em all

 

All that I know to say anymore is ....WHAT THE HELL?

 

Not to be annoying, but man, that's a pretty weak plus-side...

 

I'm going to make a shirt that reads "I'm sorry did I annoy you? why not throw me in jain!"
