I gave you the warning. We have established a set of rules, one of those rules, we do not allow flaming, which is harrassing or ridiculing of others, laughing at our rules to me is a flame at all the mods and admins hard work here.
We have established guidelines as to what people can and cannot post. The reason for this is due to the fact that we have a lot of younger members and it is inappropriate for those younger members to see or have to read post full of flames.
I believe if people would just try to see things from others view points and if they dont agree with them, then to constructively voice their opinion, not say something like: you are an idiot, what a dumb guestion, stuff like that helps noone. I firmly believe that it is your right your freedom to laugh at our rules, it is also my right to give you a warning for inappropriate content.
You see, like your quote says, everyman should listen to an opinion that infuriates him... I listen to alls opinions, actually I am probably one of the most liberal opinions about freedom of speech here, my issue with what you said, laughing at our rules really isnt freedom of speech, you were just testing the waters.. You would have never been warned if you posted something like:
Hey guys, I think the warning system is a bad idea. I believe that it limits what one can say. I see it as a pperfect option for anyone on a powertrip who doesnt like what somebody says.
I probably would have responded:
Well that is your opinion, however we feel that in order to keep BetaONE family friendly we will continue to use the warning system at our discretion, if you still feel that this is too much big brother, the feel free to pm me, we can debate and dicuss in private.
no warning no hard feelings.
See how much better that sounded.
LMGDAO just makes you look childish, but actual words and a debatable sentence make you look intelligent, people might actually listen to your opinion. No offence taken to your PM, as I will never warn a member based on a pm they send me, now dont think this is an open invitation to bash me, but if you have an opinion and you feel you need to use harsh language, or pound on your drum real loud, then by all means pm me.
