Subject: Determining what is offensive and "full of hatred" is a pretty subjective task.

In reply to: chadi 's message, "According to the voy rules, no forum should contain offending or full of hatred posts. And since I am the moderator fo this forum, i am the only one responsible for everything posted on THIS forum. Let us together contact the voy administration if you dare me." on 19:05:08 08/23/02 Fri

Some might regard your occasional temper flare ups as offensive. Would you then, censor yourself from the forum?

In order to come to an objective agreement about what constitutes "offensive" and not a mere divergence of opinion, certain straightforward rules must be drawn, perhaps a list of words in the George Carlin tradition, which are not to be uttered. A mere divergence of opinion or mild criticism must not be regarded as "offensive," however, for to do so would condone censorship simply for the purpose of silencing different viewpoints on a given matter.

The looming question then, dear Chadi, is what constitutes "offensive" and will this be addressed exclusively by you as forum Pope, or democratically decided by all the posters?

Uh, Chadi, might I remind you of a post in Hell in which you used several curse words against Sister Bunny, wasn't that posting something full of hatred?Blane, Hell's resident PRAGMATIC Queen!20:08:08 08/23/02 Fri
    I am not responsible for the content in other forums. I am not the monitor there, who should remove unapproved posts, you clever one. (NT)chadi07:41:34 08/24/02 Sat
