Re: Revised Newswire Posting Policy

I applaud your test, and believe that you are onto something very important here. The internet is still a great tool for social change, it just takes time, and learning.

Eliminating anti-social posts is not "censorship" that prevents "free speech". Anyone can get a website and post insults til they drop. The right to freee speech does not entitle anyone to an audience wherever anyone would like to spill.

If a person or group cannot get an anti-social jerk out of their forum, then why waste time talking about effecting great social change? Really. If homage to agitators, sociopaths, freeper spam, and babble that is unrelated to the topics at hand and symptomatic of an autistic disorder, is a noble necessity, then why bother? We've already handed ourselves over to the socially deviant and/or incompetent.

Wiley,

You're exactly right! This site is the IMC's private property, and that's what's great about private property -- the owner gets to decide who uses it!

I'm glad you guys are finally starting to understand this. And here I thought you'd all be arguing for the abolition of private property. I'm sorry I pre-judged you.
