Amin,
I read most of the thread you started. What I found most interesting is that after the first two pages, the thread got back onto the equivalent lens and format nonsense. It only seemed as if one or two individuals actually wanted to discuss your point of the original thread. I think you hit the nail on the head. Freedom of speech does not apply to private forums. However, dpreivew does so little in moderation that people can get away with just about anything on that forum. There are even those who use that as an excuse to be rude and ugly. I personally believe moderation and common sense are necessary. I think some folks probably need to have a little thicker skin, but at the same time, I think people should be as polite as they can when trying to get their points accross.
About a week ago another member posted about being polite. Another member believed it was his duty to be overly harsh. I posted that most people have the capability to be polite, courteous, and nice about getting their point across. I was then presented with an argument of freedom of speech. I decided not to persue the argument further because I felt that there was no way to reach that individual.
I believe you expressed my thoughts regarding freedom of speech and private forums more eloquently than I ever could.
