Some people just don't like to see other peoples opinions if it does not agree with them. I cannot believe these people are trying to get boards shut down because they want to be able to keep everything quiet except for what they want you to know. This is America and we are free to say what we want. An opinion is not a bash. -- Can we Talk? About Pageantry?

In reply to: Stephanie Jackson 's message, "I am sorry, but I haven't scene any bashing on this board. I have scene people say that they didn't care for pageant camp, and would not return. To me that is not bashing, it is giving a newcomer an opinion. I don't see why the "BC" is trying to get this board shut down. I can see the complaint board. Please explain what is being bashed on this board." on 06:12:09 04/26/02 Fri

[> The First Amendment also protects the right to parody public figures, even when such parodies are "outrageous," and even when they cause their targets severe emotional distress. -- Queens are public figures. If you don't like what's being said don't respond and add to the bashing., 07:20:50 04/26/02 Fri

ig: Hustler Magazine, Inc. v. Falwell, 485 U.S. 46 (1988), the court considered an action for "intentional infliction of emotional distress".
