ot: unpublished rules in a blog

[ucodegen]

It is another example of creeping PC, or you could say ‘mind-thought-control’.

Vulgar words are considered protected speech under first amendment by Supreme Court.
Offensive speech is also considered protected speech under first amendment by Supreme Court(but to a more limited extent)

Inciting speech isn’t considered protected speech.

From what I got from reading up on it was that the poster who got ‘outed’ and later resigned was responding to a post on a news-person’s personal blog post about ‘weirdest things you ever ate’. The poster responded on the blog with a post related to ‘furry felines’. The news-person responded by tracking the IP addr and contacting the school that was associated with the IP address, resulting in the poster resigning (probably under coercion). The post probably was juvenile and in poor taste, but not equivalent to a person losing their job.

I find it disturbing how members of the press often lean heavily on the First Amendment for their postings, but are willing to violate the First Amendment and its concepts if they themselves don’t like the speech in question. (Could call it coercively enforced compliance with the mainstream medias concepts and ideas).

You misunderstand and jump to conclusions. I actually wrote something that I deleted.It was pretty funny but also a bit vulgar. Something you would not mind saying and I might not in some cases. Not up to it today. I can PM you the punch line.

I didn’t think “Deleted for fear of reprisals” would have been a bad joke necessarily.It depends on who you assume it includes as the potentially offended. I guess you are feeling protective of Rich or yourself?It wasn’t aimed any pigg.
I fawn over Piggs.[/quote]

I shot your fawn and made venison jerky out of it.

I saw your post (though i don’t remember it) and was annoyed that you removed it.

That’s why its not cool.

In other words, you are the anti-fonzi.

Or the anti-Sleater-Kinney.

Or something.

I relinquish all copyrights. Anything you can do with “busy beaver” is all yours, Dan. I don’t recommend making jerky with it though.

Well here’s how I see it.

I have this little website, that I consider myself the proprietor of given that I started it and put a lot of work into it and pay for for the dedicated server that it’s hosted on. If someone comes here and acts like a total jerkwad, I will ban them, and I don’t really feel much need to explain myself or cite laws or terms of use or constitutional amendments because you know what? Don’t act like a jerkwad. (And if the ban-ee differs with my definition of jerkwad, I refer them back to the part about me being the proprietor of this site, which is to say that I get to pick the definition).

Now, the example you cited, where the dude actually called the guy’s employers — that is something different. (Notwithstanding the idiocy of posting such stuff from work). You say “People get banned or people get tracked down and sued or something similar.” — I say, there is a big difference between getting banned (no big deal, just find a different site to be obnoxious on) and getting sued or fired, which is a major negative vis-a-vis one’s real, offline life.
