[QUOTE="avstor, post: 887967, member: 87871"] And who is to decide what is offensive and what isn't, when in fact what was posted wasn't offensive. It just happened to irritate or upset some people. Hmm ? There are many instances where nothing offensive was said or done. The thing that gets people banned across the internet are their points of view. They make posts that aren't offensive whatsoever, yet the content of the message offends someone or they just don't like it. That someone uses a downvote button, report button or complains to forum admins, and then that person gets banned. It happens across the internet. Formulating an opinion is not freedom of expression. The actual expression of that opinion, as one sees fit, is the central issue. We're not talking about mind and thought control here. Really ? Where I live as long as I don't touch you and threaten you with physical harm , I can say anything I want to you or about you. If you get so upset that you call the police, they aren't going to do a single thing. In my country, the notion of "words hurt" and "fighting words" and nobody can upset you, well that is preposterous here. You will be mocked by society. This happens routinely. [/QUOTE]
