Can you point to one thing in my criticism of Israel which is not based on documented fact?

Dewbie · #22 Post by **Dewbie** » Sat 29 Oct 2011, 19:33

That's not my point, SHS.
You're not the one who started that thread.
It was blatant "flame bait," and was left alone.

Sit Heel Speak · #23 Post by **Sit Heel Speak** » Sat 29 Oct 2011, 19:39

Oh, come now. I myself could point to not fewer than three criticisms of Israel I have made, which are not based on documented fact

I have to be away for a couple of days. I will attempt to give serious consideration to anything posted here in the meanwhile.

Free speech is a pillar of moral society. I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

I removed SHS's original post, and his repost in this thread, for two reasons: one, they contained links to websites which have nothing to do with Linux or Puppy and I won't allow this forum to be used to move those websites up in Google's search rankings or otherwise publicize them, and two, SHS's original post was vague as to why he was posting the links.

SHS, if you keep posting those links in this forum I'll keep removing them. If you think they deserve wider notice then start your own forum for that purpose.

Religious information in any form does not belong on a forum designated for development & help with an operating system.

Religion is a tool that is used to control uneducated masses & that is all.

Now I'm curious.

Without naming names, what kind of websites were they?
(Also, the part I highlighted in bold...that happens all the time in off-topic.)

I respectfully request, then, Flash, that you delete all my posts from this forum.

Oh...not your Stock Market gifts! BTW/ Your Merry Christmas "gift" already lost over 30% (puts on JCP) , not to mention bets on the stock market crash and shorts on the strongest sector...retail. This has to be some sort of record.

It was close to hate speech kind of links. Talking bad about a small
minority on earth. Saying them have too much to say in relation to
how few them are.

I think it is a huge flame bait way to disrupt a forum. One could talk
about it on forum set up for that purpose but not drag in Puppy into
such a political flame war.

We can talk politics here too but not on the hate speech level.

Kind of a strange comment and weak justification posted in a thread in the forum section titled:

"Truly off-topic conversations
For stuff that really doesn't have ANYTHING to do with Puppy"

with worse arguments than this in them.

Why on earth would be accept hate speech on the forum?

Good question yet there is plenty still here that is allowed to remain.

I guess the issue is as it always is...no transparency and no consistency. Cronyism?

nooby · #35 Post by **nooby** » Sun 30 Oct 2011, 21:43

As long as the Admins and the Mods feel good about the way
them moderate the forum then the forum is as them interpret forum policy.

You guys must love this don't you?
Negativity what would life be without it?

nooby, there were some good questions raised regarding criteria that didn't make sense and were never answered. Also, why the initial secrecy? I wouldn't want the forum to go the way of tc. Also, I wonder if people really need to be "protected" at all. Did someone get hurt? Do I care if someone clicks on brother idiot's link? I know I did.

nooby · #39 Post by **nooby** » Mon 31 Oct 2011, 07:46

It is one thing to ask questions but totally other to link to hatred.
It is the way one do thing that matters. I would not want the style
of Tea Party and Fox Channel hatred on Puppy forum.

Reminds me of the rumor that Jobs used all his intellectual skill
to do his best to sink Android patent war and all. Why would one
want such here in our small corner of the internet?

Would you like me to filter what I think is safe for you to see on this forum?
