Abunai's Blog

Freedom of speach is an unalienable right in this country, but many mistake if for being free to act in any fashion under a cloke of "free speach" and misrepresent facts, context, or perspective.  Opinions are formed via all of these aspects and an INFORMED opinion can only come from unfettered access to them.  These blogs on an open and public blog such as this, are availed in good faith to all, however some with an agenda will protect what is otherwise nothing more than propaganda under a hypersensitive version of the rules that everyone agrees to before engaging in dialog here.

If we allow individuals in an open and public forum such as these blogs to make up their own rules, then we have only anarchy.    Freedom of speach does not mean you can do anything you wish, void of accountability or being responsible for the actions used in delivery of that speach.  If you are untruthful, or mistaken in your facts, and someone adresses it, simply sensoring them does not make your speach valid, and only illustrates someone of a selfish nature, and agenda driven, and does not represent the truth. 

What say you....

Apparently Tom has addressed this on his string of FREEDOM OF SPEACH HAS LIMITS.....

This is a very important issue here on these open blogs! I am disappointed in the decission the webteam made in just deleting everything, as that was the problem we all had to begin with. Only ONE person in all of the ENTIRE population of bloggers here supports the practice of deleting desenting opinion! MANY well behaved bloggers here have been banned in the past, and that is a shame. If we really want to destroy and delete anyone that stands up to sensorship then we should just blog on MYFOXCHINA or MYFOXN.KOREA then...

I SAY that I agree with YOU, Abunai. You should, INDEED be free to speak what your opinions are, state your facts accurately, and disagree with someone without being slammed against the blogging box, simply because you aren't going merrily down their little stream. If you don't like a certain blogger, the topic, or have little interest in what is being said, then go elsewhere. I have PEACEFULLY disagreed with many people here in the past, simply because I don't see things the way they do, was raised differently than they were, or have had life experiences that have molded my opinions to be something other than theirs. Under ORDINARY circumstances, and with MOST bloggers, that's just hunky-dory. There are a couple, however, who feel that if you disagree with them in any way, side with the opinion of another that is different from theirs, or go against their "little stream," you're an outright enemy, and you need to be, and will be viciously attacked. Deletion should be a discretionary tool for the one who created the blog, and used when an antagonistic blogger attempts to "hijack" the blog, leading it in another direction, or once the blog becomes so archaic, the one who posts it simply puts it in the "trashcan." I don't think it should be used to "hide" opinions that disagree with those of the "creator" of the blog, or anyone who comments on that blog.

Deborah once again comes out well spoken! I almost comes down in this paticular instance of someone who can dish it our but can't take it! Pretty telling when instead of even offering comment on other people's blogs, that some will stay exclusively in their own profile so they can operate in the fashion that you mentioned.... Its cowardous really.

Exactly! Ever notice how on some of THOSE blogs the MAJORITY of comments are by the one who posted the blog in the first place? It's just like one long epistle, blah-blah-blah-de-
blah. Nobody else can get a word in edgewise, even if they wanted to, and God help them if they're not 100% in agreement with what's being said! Very cowardice behavior, indeed!

I agree. If they cannot handle disagreement, they should not be posting here. Deleting one for simple disagreement is cowardly indeed!

I have deleted comments in the past that were nothing but pure insult, and had nothing to do with topic. However, I would never delete a comment just because it wasn't in agreement with my views on the topic. That is low.

ANOTHER nasty rumor

Me oh now you know darn well I'm winning blue ribbons for being kind and gentle every day!! LOL!

Actually Frank I was thinkin you were the one missing for a while...

Generally, we see the same dozen or so folks between us talking about current events and politics. But this latest event here IMO needed to be delt with, I'm just not going to ignore the 500 lb elephant in the room.

I watched as someone would delete under some idea nobody would ever say anything, then never thought someone woudl cut/paste her, and she was shocked that people came out of the woodwork all with the same story! Then after just loosing it, then grabbing the bible off the shelf and preaching to all as if someone who appeared close to God would be the third rail of calling out.. NOT! A crying shame that someone use the lord's name in vain like that! Then after her back was against the wall, went ballistic, cut off her comments, and then couldn't help and saying that comming back was from advice of others?

It just does not get richer than that! Now we could be talking about ANYONE here, but you watch...

BTW- I'm sure some would have liked to have me banned, but to do so, you would have had to take out other that were far more abusive and outright disrepectful...

Jul 7, 2008 | 9:47 AM Tom...cough cough.......I think someone's lost their binky.......

Whatever they say.........JUST IGNORE AND DELETE...that's what another few bloggers taught me Abunai......and NO IT WASN'T ROBIN......I think it was you, D/F and a few others....that can't handle responses....whatever....DON'T YOU HAVE CHORES AND CHILDREN TO TEND TO......here's a box of tissues and some pacifiers....PLEASE FEEL FREE TO TAKE ONE OF EACH AND GO WHINE SOMEWHERE ELSE.......blah blah waaaaaa waaaaaaaaa...it just never stops.......GET OVER IT.....GROW UP AND MOVE ON......

Unprovoked... here comes candy again. Hidding behind Tom's blog this time.

The only way this behavior is going to stop is if people actually practice what they preach and let it go. But I'm not going to just let such ridiculous behavior go unchecked.... I spent way too much time overseas, to now have to sit and take childish antics from unappreciative citizens....

IMO The TOS does not apply to some here. YBSRobin should have been banned weeks ago. Candy has always cussed on these boards, and because it isn't written in English, or any other language doesn't mean she wasn't cussing or harassing others. I could go back, and start a blog using all her blah blah's, but I would be the one getting banned. I'm no innocent in this, I know I have cussed more than once.

Well Gammies61 the difference is you don't pretend to be a saint in the process of breaking your own rules! You're not here trying to insult ones intelligence, by even trying to pass yourself off.

Difference here is these two ladies speak to a core value, but can't operate from it!

So true!

I think if FOX were playing fair, they would have to let everyone back. Of course, most of those who have been banned do not want to come back.

Your comments, as far as I can tell have never been harassment. Candy, right now, and today should be banned just for asking you if you took your meds. It is cruel and harassing in nature. Think they will ban her? I doubt it.

Truth is, SHE needs to take her meds, and a gentle reminder to do so, is only being helpful!

Of course Tom has started yet another string on blogging, and comments from everyone have already been deleted that paticular string.. When I refered to it, the response was he is only the messenger..... Really?
Just on that paticular string? Others here seem even more agressive, yet they remain intact.

I'm finding this event to be rather telling for a number of people!

I posted my explicit opinions there, too. I'm a straight forward, palms up, nothing to hide,
tell it like it is, kind of person. I have always been that way. It earned me many a spankin' when I was a youngun', but I'm just not a good liar. Who's posts were deleted? Are you really serious?!!!

Mine, YBSRobins, and I think candy had one that was bumped.... IOWs if you plan on changing the rules or updating them to elimate any ambigeous guidelines, then maybe thats what they need to do. However more restrictions isn't the answer IMO. We can let people know that disenting opinion and holding people to the truth of fact is not grounds for deletion....

Not holding my breath...

We shall see soon enough. YSBRobin has posted some political blogs now that look on the face to be accurate, however its not even close. So I looked up this site "About.com" and its the NYTimes!! You be the judge... I pointed it out, and put examples for both dem and republican.. lets see if she deletes them or not.

LOL Deb! All the meds in the world could not control the salad shooter!

Or her mentor, that will take three long comments to insult someone, when anyone else could do it in a sentence or two!

I am a bully, because I am straight to the point, and do not mince words.

This person could say the same exact thing, but will take half a page to do so!

Maybe that is why the mods tolerate her endless hate. It takes too long to read her comments! She has them fooled big time, but they are the only ones.

She fools no one else!

I guess that applies to both. Salad or subtle. Same damn thing!
