I didn't find the exact context, but I did find some references to the USA being a "police state", a "nazi state" and it seems to me that this is a proper interpretation. Your sig and the quote imply that you consider this as a "site controlled by nazis".
Calling someone a Nazi by pulling the free speech card is so cheap and easy,
Now, tell me - what's the reason for this post? It's clearly not a fact. It's not an opinion either. It's just another attempt to make a thread go ballistic (with regard of the previously surfaced rumors re. Patti). Free speech, you say? Of course, but if you deliberately try to derail a thread, we will proactively edit/remove the post - see the rules.
Freedom of speech? Let's see - YOU, sir, are a troll and we don't like your attitude and if you continue like this we (the forum and you) will most likely go separate ways. Yeah, you probably don't like my words, but that's the flip slide of the coin. On the other hand, if you manage to lose the attitude, you are very welcome to stay.

OK I don't have a hammer or a switch to flip, so I have to word everything cautiously. You seem to want to bait me into "hanging myself".
First of all the quote is just that a quote. Another poster referred to it to associate me with a "smell" (not trolling though) so they brought it into posts first, not me. It was in my signature. They brought it into play. As far as it being a quote, it is what it is- a quote.
If I quote Jesus do I need to quote the entire Bible?
Is the "free speech card" like the term the "race card"? In other words you use a negative connotation attached to it up front to try to negate my opinion or imply the idea that my opinion has no basis because I'm playing a "card".
Patti doesn't do cover songs? I thought she sang Queen songs. Anyway that is another thread.
My history on this forum goes back quite a ways and I personally resent the word "troll" and the big capital letters (shouting). I have a very long history or non "trolling" only recently have certain parties decided that I am because I express myself. Maybe I need to re-thinnk it, but it is legitimate expression even if it is considered to be "wrong expression".
Speaking of nazis, how did they treat the one's who's attitude they didn't like??
The other party posted that they remeber the good old days when everything was all positive and we did not have these evil people who may not always agree and dare to say it.
What is my "attitude" you don't like? What exactly? I assume I am not allowed to dislike yours?
I am serving my 30 days, in spite of others "trolling" and "baiting" me about bike sheds, calling me a "bully" and other things including covered over profanity and apparently that is an attitude you do like (no caps).
I can not PM the other party to keep it off board while she still goes at me and she says she would not accept them. I would have legitimately asked her to discuss it privately and try to make amends or just agree to disagree and stop going at each other, but my attempt is already rejected. I am willing to talk.
If they are going to keep going at me while I already have a target on my back and can not even PM I do not think that is an admirable attitude either.
Just some thoughts from the peanut gallery from a bike-riding accused troll.
PS where is the thumbs down for your posts if everything is as you say?
