Topic: Die Hard Re-banned

[3dot14]

Don't give them any ideas...

But until then. Let's them come back. Even the felons get presidential pardons...

[FatherTed]

I hate to take drastic measures, but if Admin insists on keeping these fine lads out, I'll mention you in me next Mass.  

FREE THE TALDREN THREE!!!

FREE THE TALDREN THREE!!!  

[RAGE Cyberbeer]

I'm suprised all the liberals have not called the trial laywers to get him unbanned.  Honestly, companies get blasted all the time banning people from a public forum is hardly good PR.  Not to mention kinda childish.

I wonder if this has anything to do with

"He who shall not be named"

being promoted to

"He who should not have been named a moderator"

The world wonders....

Just got this off the wire:

AP-GUANTANAMO BAY The "Taldren Three" arrived today and were processed at the new detention area erected in the wake of the infamous "J'inn you bastard" post incident and various other crimes against humanity, in which countless people were horribly scarred by the comments of mastermind Die-Hard and his band of villains. Mr. Hard has made many overtures of peace to his captors but the crimes are still fresh in the victims minds.
Attourney General John Ashcroft is looking into the possibility treating the "evil" posters as prisoners of war, but unfortunately Mr. Ashcroft has been unavailable for comment. Sources in the administration say Mr. Ashcroft is stuck "in-battle" above the Klingon Planet Peace.

 The only point of banning people is to not let them defend their pont of view.  That being said, their transgressions (whatever they were) were on the other boards and Die Hard and Kai Lae were behaving themselves.  I have NO FREAKING CLUE what Kai Lae might have done to piss off the Taldrenites, and Die Hard... ummm... well he seemed a bit edgy to me, but that alone is no reason to permanently ban someone.  I mean, the image tag is back for pete's sakes, so I guess y'all have forgiven the porn-poster!

To back off the tangent a bit... Why are they banned? I mean, Likkerpig REALLY REALLY didn't seem the sort to be banned, and I was wondering why I hadn't seen him on in a while.

  <and my Romulan side wonders if this post will get myself banned>

"BUMP" Come on Taldren let them back in

This is un-called for, Nanner had NOTHING to do with this. Do the community a favor and delete your post.

What a nice message we are sending to the people:rollseyes:

[Credo Narth]

Hey, just a question, Taldren... Where you guys located? USA, right? Now, when I last did Politics 101, USA was a... wait for it, a democracy. That's right, where EVERYBODY has the right to free speech, to voice their opinions without fear of repression or censorship, so long as they state that it is their opinion, and not fact.

Now, it is my repeatedly-stated opinion that Activision are less valuable than their weight in tribbles. Dan, their agent who lurks within these forums, deserves nothing more than being smothered with a Klingon's armpit and drowned in the Bog of Eternal Stench. As for you guys, Taldren, shame on you. You really didn't do your homework when designing SFC3. Too similar races, not enough races, too simple. And after getting EAW right, you've managed to invent new bugs to put back in the prgoram! Egad, are you guys addicted to de-bugging or what?

And shame on you for not allowing people to say what they think of you. You can't have a public forum, then cesnor people out so that you only hear the nice things. You can't have your cake and eat it, too. If you try, you might as well move to a dictatorship, like Iraq.

Oh wait, that'll be part of America in a month or two anyway!

[Blitzkrieg]

Americans always go on about free speach and the like, they make America sound so nice I'm thinking of moving there shortly. As funny as the last post is its sadly true, meaning that your a bunch of hypercrits.

It dosn't matter though, free speah is one of the most stupidest things ever and I'm glad that there is no such thing. For instance, if I started saying "I think parents should be allowed to drown there babies if they feel like it", then some people would get upset. If I continued on, repeating the same offensive rubbish for days and weeks people would leave the forum and some would start sending me hate male.

To make matters worse, I've started to think that "there should be a baby drowning ellemenant to SFC3" and I'm going to inform you all of this latest edition to the game. I'm going to start threads on it, stop threads with it and generaly haras you all with my beleife in drowning babies.

So all I have to do to validate my oppinion is to simply state it is my oppinion? Does this extend to everything? Could I start beeting people up and using the excuse of "It was just my fists"? Or do you want me to go back to the drowning babies aspect of my argument?

NO

You can't have free speach I would be banned from this forum quicker than you could say "patch please". The thing is, all of you would be for it, my highly offensive views are gone, right? Well you see the only thing free about that is, its free unless you think it should be otherwise, right?

Don't make me laugh, there has to be moderation and moderation in moderation so to speak. There is a line of reasonableness that we should all try to stand on, otherwise people have to be excluded for the simple fact that they make life hard for everyone else.

Things that should be moderated -

1) Racism
2) Excessive use of strong language when used with the sole purpose to offend
3) Promoting violence against anyone other than in self defence
4) Excessive personal attacks on anyone for whatever reason
5) Disagreeing with me j/k

Have fun everyone I'm off to write a bit more of my dissertation.  

[Atrahasis]

There's a fourth, who got banned in the model forum, for saying things along the same lines:

http://208.57.228.4/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB11&Number=10279&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1

Isn't time to for Taldren to show how beneficent they can be?

[mc_cloud]

this is retarted, let them back in

Ahh, but that's the problem, isn't it? Allowing free speech also allows the radicals to voice their, usually, uninformed, myopic opinions. This upsets the moral majority, who try to suppress these views. If they succeed, then frequently the radicals are driven underground. Isolated, they seek the company of like-minded radicals and form their own sub-society, where their views are approved. KKK, anyone? Or the US militia groups? Left amongst themselves, they cannot help but become even more radical in their views? After all, who do they have to debate against? Where is their voice of reason?

Rather, the American founders had considerable foresight in making free speech an unalienable right (although they did goof up with the right to bear arms). By allowing these people to voice their beliefs, the opportunity arises to debate, interact with and ultimately understand the causes of radicalism, be it racism, or religious fundamentalism, or anything else.

But simply blocking their right to free speech alienates them further, rising deep-seated resentment and, ultimately, taking matters into the radicals' own hands. How difficult would it be for one of the people Taldren have ostracised to talk to one of their friends, a computer hacker? All of a sudden the entire forum is disrupted, to the cost of everyone.

If Dave really is Christian, then he should forgive and engage the banned people, rather than alienating them. I think Die Hard had a point, although he didn't express it very well. Perhaps by understanding exactly what Die Hard wanted to say, Taldren and Activision would be a little more transparent in their dealings with us, and elicit far fewer complaints.
