LJ wrote: it's personal from his end, as he requested that a stop be put to the shenanigans. My not reversing it no matter what you say, is personal.

In the politics forum you do not have to read through guys telling themselves to suck each others dicks, go fuck themselves, etc. to try and keep up with a discussion topic.

Everyone has different interests. Having a variety of different subjects on the site should bring in more posters. If you don't like a particular forum don't click on it. Its that simple. There are several I have never visited.

People at Ohio Chatter make wide use of freedom of speech in what they write and show all protected by the First. BUT
the major reason that there is a 1st Amendment is to allow vigorous unrestricted political speech. At this site the place where speech is most restricted, most limited most controlled is in the political forum. That is both an irony and a wrong.

isadore;452268 wrote:The reason this site exists at all is because of the First Amendment. AT ALL. So when set it up, yes you are the god of it. But without the First there is no set up. And Using that freedom to set it up all these different forums. the one you limit the most is political speech that is irony and very sad.
