I honestly couldn't get what madness was PurpleRabbit on about, since when freedom means to do whatever you want? One is free to do whatever he likes, as long as that doesn't limit the freedom and rights of others. This is my definition of freedom, and free speech falls into this rule. Freedom is not dropping the pants and shit on the sidewalk, that would limit the other persons right to have higiene and freedom to walk on the sidewalk without sticking the foot into a pile. Same way with free speech. If I am ontop of a soapbox, ranting about whatever, and a guy comes along, gets on my side, spewing nothing but insults he is effectively limiting my free speech... However, if the same person, comes and argues rationally against my rant, this is not limiting at all, infact, if my rant is true it will only strenghten it!
I was one that wasn't sure this rule was of any good, but all these events further enhance the idea that this feeling i have is wrong. I mean, look at this! People leaving the forum about.... nothing. If I hadn't saw PurpleRabbit's arguments on IRC, I whouldn't believe he said the things he said, it was all a kind of preconcepted rage! He even claimed the magical sky-daddy got to the staff, whatever that means.
If I had a problem with the staff, I'd use the PM's, and if I had a BIG problem with the staff, I would simple leave, stop posting, and do something else, not pulling an emotional card like "OK, where can I deactivate my account?". It almost sounds like blackmail.
I liked Sae, from the little time i've spend here so far, found her posts witty, a little provocative, that's good, but her reaction was out of line, and something that surprised me. I would like to see her return, but I don't believe she will. Perhaps I will be surprised again.
Emotions are to be felt, not carried into actions, that's reason's job.
