Canada_First Posted July 31, 2015 Report Posted July 31, 2015 The internet breeds a lot of people who say things online that they would never say to someone in person. Once I confront someone and wish to meet up in person they crap their pants and make all manner of excuses as to why they cannot meet up in person. Anyone who accuses another of being scared is most likely actually scared basement dwelling neck beards themselves. Quote

Moonlight Graham Posted August 7, 2015 Author Report Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) On a political message board, I still want to be able to say whatever the f*** I want (as long as it's lawful). Isn't that a fair viewpoint? Free speech, unless it's threatening/abusive/hate-speech etc.? I can say the F word on The Comedy Network but not a freaking political message board? I'd like to know the rationale as to the reason why profanity is banned on MLW? I see other political forums with no such censorship?

Big Guy Posted August 7, 2015 Report Posted August 7, 2015 There are many opinion boards where you can say what the f*** you want. There are many opinion boards which will allow you to register only if your real identity is being used. Each board has its own parameters. The posters who continue to post here accept the parameters maintained here - that is why they continue to post here. I suggest that rather than attempting to change the parameters here that you find a board which adheres to your parameters - then you may be happier with the environment and share it with people with your own sensibilities. Quote Note - For those expecting a response from Big Guy: I generally do not read or respond to posts longer then 300 words nor to parsed comments.
bush_cheney2004 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Posted August 8, 2015 Nice to see a dead American comic still teaching Canadians about profanity and freedom of speech expression. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

waldo Posted August 8, 2015 Report Posted August 8, 2015 Nice to see a dead American comic still teaching Canadians about profanity and freedom of speech expression. nice to see a prolific (claimed) American member perpetually highlighting instances when any Canadian member draws reference to an American source!

bush_cheney2004 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Posted August 8, 2015 Have a lot of free time lately? Yes, I retired last week, and can now devote even more time to Canada's love affair with all things 'murican....even monologues about profanity. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
waldo Posted August 8, 2015 Report Posted August 8, 2015 Have a lot of free time lately? apparently, drawing any reference to any American source... is a, as described, "(Canadian) love affair with all things 'murican"! Of course, perpetually drawing attention to that perception says more about the person drawing the perpetual attention to his perceptions. Quote

bush_cheney2004 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Posted August 8, 2015 Most of the profanity used by some members is juvenile and adds nothing to the topic except their own frustration(s). There are far better ways to play this game. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Canada_First Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) Present company excepted? I'm willing to meet up in person with anyone. Just provide place and time and I'll be there if they in same province as me. I'll drive up to 5 hours to meet up. Edited August 10, 2015 by Canada_First Quote

Canada_First Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 Creepy.... Sounds like you have a lot of time on your hands. Creepy.... I just will not hide behind a computer like some sniveling wimp. I'll put my money where my mouth is. Lots of people on the internet are really just wimps who are afraid of their own shadow imo. Afraid to say things face to face. I am not. That's all. I don't see what's creepy about being willing to meet up in person face to face. if anything it's creepy being all brave on an internet forum but unwilling to talk to that person face to face because you're too scared.

Canada_First Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 I'd like to have it mandatory to sign up here with your real name. Same goes for all internet outlets. Real ID all the way. If you're too scared to say what you say with your real name out there you probably shouldn't be saying it. Quote

If you're too scared to say what you say with your real name out there you probably shouldn't be saying it. Suppose you are a public servant and want to say bad things about the public service or the government? You'd have a major risk of getting in trouble with either colleagues or your boss. Suppose you're in the private sector but work for a member of the other party, and he doesn't like your opinions? It's all very well to talk about bravery, but not everyone runs the same risks.

Charles Anthony Posted October 22, 2019 Report Posted October 22, 2019 Folks, Keep your discussions courteous. I will be cracking down on the use of profanity in the forums.
