Oh? Well then it all works as it is supposed to. If you like it here, stay...if you don't like it here, leave. Freedom of association, you see.

That isn't even the point I was making. We all know there is no censorship but there is a downside to this. It isn't all fair as presumed to be. The comments put a lid on free discussion. If this was an experiment all it would prove is that bullying is alive and well.

How do comments put a lid on free discussion?
Are you redefining the word bully, now? If so please offer your definition

No, it's called play when it's one of you who are in the brotherhood (and there is a ruling class, those who made themselves the authorities); and then there are the outsiders, who are at the mercy of the group's derogatory putdowns to feed their insatiable hunger for more lulz. This feeds the group's ego while they lie in wait for the next unsuspecting person. They should have on the front of this forum: BEWARE OF MAD DOGS. I don't think it was meant to be this way, but it definitely IS THAT WAY.

This is funny shit. See, you are hilarious! Could anyone be more clueless and histrionic than you?
Go hang around an anti-vaxing forum for awhile and tell me about mad dogs |
I'm not being histrionic. I'm being very calm, and I'm not exaggerating either. I'm not comparing this group to any other. Maybe I'd feel the same way about other groups. They may all have the same characteristics. Interestingly, the groups who think they have freedom of speech are squelching the very speech they value so highly. Can you not be honest with yourself LadyShea that this group has a mean streak? You are use to it, and you are not the target, so you can look at it dispassionately, but for others who are the target it has gotten in the way. In fact, it has ruined any chance for a fair and enjoyable conversation. Can't you see how everyone becomes part of group think in an effort to avoid becoming the next target? This is called self-preservation. There has not been a person that would dare cross the line of what is acceptable, or they know they will be the next person in line to become fodder for laughter.
