You still misunderstand what I'm saying, Toad. I wish I had more time to post in this thread but I get so little opportunity these days. I'll try and post more tomorrow.

Nope, Orel, I can't.

I'm sure there is one though. I just wouldn't frequent a BBS like that. I might get so incensed that I called someone a marooon or something.

Take CheckSix, for instance. LePaul opened up an AH Forum after Skuzzy banned a few folks here just so everyone would have a place to speak and post in a totally free, unfettered environment.

Guess what? It didn't last. Couldn't last. Why? Human nature. Now LePaul and MiniD monitor the board and they've banned folks over there. Ironic, isn't it? However, I totally understand the need.

So the answer to your question is:

I'm sure there are some but I don't know of them. I wouldn't look for them or frequent them.

Enjoy your search, however.

Dowding, NP. I'll wait. You're posts are mostly worth it. ;)

Toad:

you imply that "free speech" to me is somewhat lesser than it is to you.

I deeply resent this implication and find that you can even consider that thought to be rather surprising, given my record here.

That's your choice though. I'll not retaliate in kind because that is pointless.

Attempts to piss it away with "was just a joke" will only leave your bladder empty. While it can be seen as entirely innocent for fun-jabbing, it's a) not like you and b) in a context that makes it unlikely. Which is all the more surprising and disappointing.

If it was directed towards other "Europeans", well, next time, clear the target area before ya take a piss. You're American and a gun owner, you should know not to point a loaded thingy at something unless you intend to destroy it.

:D

No, I don't imply anything.

I say that Euro's seem to have quite a different concept of "free speech" than we do. Not "lesser"; "different".

It's easily observed right  here on this board.

I'll say again: we all inherently understand that we can speak our peace.

We also inherently understand that just because we said it doesn't mean other people will not disagree with us.

We inherently understand that they have as much right to voice dissenting opinion as we ourselves have to voice the original opinion.

We inherently understand that not everyone is going to be polite during this process.

Now, is that your understanding of it?

If the quality is the same, I'd go with Spain. It's smart business.

I must have missed this thread while I was away. I think it got buried in all the America postings. :lol

One question: Why does AKSWulfe persist in thinking that Saintaw is French?
