    I agree. Cheers to Neil!
    Free speech can get messy, but I appreciate that we are lucky enough to have been provided a forum where we can share our views, however different they may be.

    Just remember, freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom to be a c**t....

    Something I'm a huge advocate of....

    Gotta say I love this board and always feel the moderation is spot on, this site is very cool so am happy to add my name to a list of appreciation.

    I agree with Symphonix, and at the risk of sounding too "ass kissy" I salute all the mods here for doing a kick ass job fighting the good fight.

    LOL

    1) Don't forget, most importantly, there's a number of people who keep this forum running, most who do far more moderation for example than I do...

    2) It's an impossible task - You try and allow people to express themselves a little, and that will too much for some, and not enough for others. All we can do is muddle along on hopefully about the right path... We will never be 100% right, but as long as we're generally right, that is the best we can hope for So remember to give the moderators a break every now and then as it's an impossibe task sometimes...
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    i thought freedom to be a cu*t was like a god given constitutional right or at least there are some dildos around here who act like it is.


    if i have anything to thank neil and the mods for it is putting up with me for almost 10 years.

    I think it's fantastic that this site and these forums have lasted for as long as they have. Great dedication from all involved!

    Actually, it was Brad Pitt, but many people complained he just couldn't quite pull it off...
