Voicing my opinions on a few things that I don't agree with is my right. As it is everyone else's right. I shouldn't have to walk on eggshells to appease those who want to get their panties in a bunch. If they want a forum that limits the free speech of not only others, but themselves too, they are welcome to start their own forum with their own rules.
I've dealt with members here who have said a lot of shitty things to me. I'm still here aren't I? I'm not asking for their rights to be infringed upon, am I? I'm not asking for a safe place on these boards, am I? Nope. I take my licks like anyone. I participate in threads and I face the consequences of the replies I get. Some people simply can grow a pair or they can ignore those posts that they find insulting or they can utilize the ignore feature, as I have done on occasion.
Clearly you don't have a clue about me if you think I'm one of the most sensitive on the forums so I find your post a bit disingenuous.
Oh, and incidentally, we have rules against hate speech, trolling and flaming. If someone feels like they have had any of that done to them, they can utilize the report button and complain to the staff. Rules are a thing here. Staff can't discipline the offenders if the offended don't report the offensive posts, now can they?
CL is not asking to limit anyone's free speech (and free speech has nothing to do with these forums, only the government). People would have the choice to post in the civility section or whatever other section they want to post in.
I've already stated my point. We seem to be at an impass so there's no point in discussing this further with you.
