Unbelievable! This is freedom of speech in the USA these days:
The moderator of this site has just eliminated my sublime, ironical text 'eugenetics'.

The internet is not the USA

i can certainly understand the mods reluctance to allow a thread like that to continue, even if started with humor in mind, due to inflammatory nature of the topic

I agreed with you tho :P being that they are the ones who are odd

your text was not removed it is right where it ever was http://www.wrongplanet.net/postp2374091 ... t=#2374091

5 posts and already brought yourself to the attention of the moderators and complaining about the 'thought police'. That must be a record!

I stopped displaying my age because I'm fed up of people like this disrespecting me because I'm young.

It is actually better not to show your age if you're young. There will always be those who use it as an excuse to tell you to shut up.

Wow. That's BS. I remember people pulling that on me when being younger. Interestingly I hold most of my same views and they don't get all E-thug hardcore on me anymore. And me being shows right in many aspects.

It depends on the internet community I'd say.

I have the same problem, only in reverse. I find people will use what ever they can to discredit those that disagree with them. :shrug:

The rules of this site are very strict. Aspergers can say things which are regarded not done in the communis opinio. There is also the language problem: most continental europeans are not fluent in english: this can cause misunderstandings.

At the moment there's a topic here about Jesus: i think i could contribute in the discussion because i studied theology for a while, but i don't, because there is the chance i would make a moderator angry again. My text 'eugenetics' was, if i'm not mistaken, a possible hate speech, according to one moderator.

If the rules remain as they are, it's flower power, love & peace, all very nice, but if it's interesting.......

I've seen that thread, it was considered hate speech because you wanted to wipe an entire demographic(the majority in fact)off the planet, shockingly many people find that offensive
