Dear TIGSource Moderators,

I'd just like to go on record stating that I am completely opposed to anybody being banned for voicing their opinion. This is un-American. Yes I know you have full legal rights to ban anybody, but that doesn't make it any less un-American. Silencing those people who are brave enough to voice their controversial opinions is something that a fascist dictatorship does, not a free nation such as the USA.

I did not spam, I did not threaten harm against any of your members, all I did was voice my controversial views, for which I was banned. Silencing someone for voicing their opinion is immoral, and bad for the human race as a whole. I will always back up anybody's right to have and voice an opinion, whether or not I agree with that opinion.

As I already mentioned, this applies to people who I disagree with and/or dislike as well. I may call them out on the fact that I think their opinion is wrong if that's the case, but I would never be for banning them for voicing their opinion, even if they were out of line (which I do not feel that I was). Thanks for your time.

Sincerely,

Adam Coate

How come when some idiot gets banned, he always returns and makes a post about freedom of speech, as if him being banned for being said idiot has anything to do with the First Amendment? It's interesting how these people always seem to follow the same exact pattern. Some anthropologist should do a study on it...

un-American

Wait, what is the relation between banning someone in some forum and living within an imaginary boundary of territory?

You'll be surprised to find out that a substantial number of the members here are, in fact, not American. Why should American law apply to an international online message board?

Thank you and goodbye.  Gentleman

I don't think it's the law at all. As far as I'm concerned banning idiots is also exercising free speech.

Being an Australian and all, I'm quite happy with it if it's un-American. The Flytrap saga has run its course.

I heard Derek is really a disembodied entity who can take over other's bodies at will. Which is why he's wearing that scarf on the photo. There's nothing beneath it (nothing visible anyway).  Evil
