No, I'm not Thrawn.

Don't lock the thread or deny free speech. Just remove some of the anonymity and show us links between all posters and their AH accounts. People generally behave better when they can't hide in darkness.

Very true Iron.

Ummm...I'm MuckMAW...

When the truth about Saddam is revealed and the liberated Iraqis are dancing in the streets, those voices who attacked our leadership so unashamedly will be forever diminished. Yuk it up while ya can.

Everyone knows I love GWB, but I gotta admit that was a funny pic.  It makes it even funnier thinking it was posted by a NK (when in reality it is probably a fat pimply teenager from W. Virginia's made up account===Weazel).

Too true.

Man, what an MA it would be, huh? Talk about reviving the "hate" that some folks seem to miss from a previous ACM game.



There'd be some voluntary handle changes and posting reforms I bet.

Thrawn was banned?  What fer?

There are somethings that just don't need to be posted on this BBS and thats one of them Username..  really bright..

Someone needs to lock this thread.. Curval.. you'll have to call into HT to have it closed..

AKIron: Don't lock the thread or deny free speech.

 Why the heck not? HTC is not federal government and is not limited by Constitution. There is no "free speech" in this private board of theirs - only what they are graciously willing to tolerate.

Just remove some of the anonymity and show us links between all posters and their AH accounts.

 That would be violation of the implicit (or maybe even explicit - forgot that small print) contract. Thy can refuse service but not use information submitted by users inapproppriately.

People generally behave better when they can't hide in darkness.

 Any tyrant would wholeheartedly agree with you. But why not len everybody to register his disagrement with UserName or ignore his opinion, etc?
 I find it educational to learn what some people outside US think of us. Eliminating the thread or chasing the user from the board would not eliminate those people, would it?

Read my post again.....after this ISP was blocked

His company blocked it. Nothing about "banned" in that post.

[weazel]

Your conspiracy theory is still wrong  AKIron.  

[SOB]

I could read your post a hundred times, and the logical conclusion would be that he was banned and Skuzzy blocked his IP address.  Thanks for the clarification.

-I didn't say they shouldn't deny a constitutional right, I said don't deny free speech. It is also their right to allow it if they want.

That would be violation of the implicit (or maybe even explicit - forgot that small print) contract. Thy can refuse service but not use information submitted by users inapproppriately.

-I didn't say they should reveal personal information. I don't remember reading in any contract where they couldn't reveal connections between UBB users and AH accounts. Maybe you could reference that for me?

I have little interest in anyone's opinion that doesn't have the couarge to take some responsibility for their view.
