dafremen Good. That's what this place needed. A little more REAL and a little less intellectual hot-doggery and evasive proclamations that don't ever get to the heart of the matter: we are damaged goods as a race..all of us.

Better start healing soon. Better come to life. Here comes wave after wave. Here come the birds of war to clean up the killing fields.

Come the Rook..look alive.

minnesota_chris people want to block your writings because often you sound like you're calling people idiots. Can you see how people get that impression, even from that last response of yours?

Like "if people only knew what was right, what this place is all about, they would act differently." Like you have a special knowledge and they don't.

not to mention tl;dr

dafremen no I don't know that.

the measure of what blather is and is not was NEVER laid down by me. but it is stated QUITE clearly on the front page of this site..i quote:

"..it's an experiment to see what shape this will take when left at your mercy."

that's very clear. it means no restrictions..period. Nothing should be off limits..nothing should be sacred.

(Although I normally do leave personal blathes alone...and desist if asked civilly to desist. But those are my own PERSONAL rules. No one should be subjected to them.)

Whether I like what someone's doing or not...I'll fight for their right to do it here. It's the only place I know of like this on the web. I'm not losing that. It's literary and expressive freedom and it's one of the most valuable things in the world to me.

So saying "Roger Dafremen thinks he knows better" is a cop out and a blatant fabrication.

Roger Dafremen read the front page of this site and took that at face value. Now he likes it that way and will fight to keep it that way. Free. Absolutely free.

I don't go to red much. Folks can join the pretty, dainty purist party over there all they want to.

But blue should stay 100% free..let the blather_gods intervene where absolutely necessary. (ie. bot verification)

Freedom 'Til Death. That's my motto..feel free to wear it out.

minnesota_chris THEY'LL NEVER TAKE! OUR! FREEEEDOMMMM!


um yeah. braveheart.

I didn't follow what you just said. But whenever you are saying that other people just aren't getting it, it bothers people. Not that some people don't need bothering, but still.
