so here is where you guys come to when dumped from the vaporized threads... :mrgreen:

Actually I have asked game questions in other threads.. but this thread is titled "locked threads on il2.." if I am not mistaken no? So I am actually on topic. I am just responding to a thread that OBVIOUSLY is directed at me at the very least indirectly.


@ Kendo .. You are correct... being a mod is a thankless task under certain circumstances but my philosophy is .. If I am going to be maligned for doing my job as amoderator then I would much rather be makigned by those who are behaving in a manner and treating people in a fashion that I would prefer not to. On the flipnside if I am going to be considered fair I would prefer to be considered fair by people who actually understand what fairness actually is.

Do you honestly want me to believer, Wolf, that you don't know the difference from a discussion between two sensible people and someone who just wants to troll and provoke a shit-throwing contest? You have been here on these boards long enough that the difference between them should be rather obvious.

If someone is intimidated by another member on an internet discussion-board, then I would say that the 'net is probably not for them. Especially if you're dealing with a forum where you have people of many different nationalities and languages present.

My interpretation of what free speech actually happens to be on an internet board is irrelevant, since there IS no free speech on a forum like this. Asking me what my definition is in regards to real life is equally irrelevant, since that doesn't have any bearings on what happens here. But since you asked, I'll answer: Personally, I think that free speech is nonexistent, since unless you can't, in any country of the world, say absolutely anything you want without being punished for it.
