Paul I distinctively remember seeing a couple of posts where someone tells me what I can and cannot say or do.........according to that dude.........I have no rights.......do you agree with that?

Whether someone does that or not is pretty irrelevant at the end of the day - as they have no authority to enforce it. To reiterate though - there is a TOS on this site that limits the scope of the content you can post on here.

Blathering about your rights being infringed on the internet is a little silly, I think.

[SAT 9,609]

You don't have "free speech" on privately run message boards.

really, I thought that this is a public forum.........but lets say it's pvt for a minute......

So naturally you can say and do what you want? but I can't?

Hehe...you don't understand Paul. He's claiming "freedom of the press" now.

Oh OK - I read that yesterday and wondered what that was about.

And aren't u being a little silly at how serious you take other people's posts? what the F do you care what others say? everyone is entitled to their own opinion right?

BTW I never made a coment on our First Lady. All I see is a bunch of people attacking someone for cracking some jokes. That's my Perception.

But you know, everyone has their own perception. But why do you have to fight people? does it make you feel better?

A public forum run and moderated by private individuals according to a defined code of expected behaviour. Its not particularly uncommon as far as forums go.

On the bolded - I'm not sure how you reach that conclusion.

Let's say it's "pvt" for more than a minute, because it is now and for the foreseeable future a "pvt" forum.

Mini-Constitutional lesson: it's the government that cannot limit your freedom of speech. VisaJourney is not a government forum, it is a privately owned and operated forum. Your freedoms are what Ewok and the mods decide they are.

And quite frankly, do YOU own this message board? no?

So again...I go back to what I said, u can say what u want, but others can't?

Who said you can't say something?

Look, if you're going to say something stupid, expect to be called out on it. Nobody's saying you can't say it (within the TOS of course), but don't expect to just get away with saying something that just ain't true. Sorry.

and I ask yet again, so u think that u can say what u want here, but others cannot? Is that your mentality?

<Sigh> I came here to offer some entertainment during my wait in this visa journey, and get some advice. And perhaps offer some advice with my experience. And run into this #######. Lighten up......go play golf.........

I don't care particularly - I'm just not sure why you're so steadfastly defending what a lot of people interpreted as an attempt at humour that was in poor taste by trotting out spurious nonsense about your constitutional rights.

As for taking things too seriously - by that token I think I've been pretty civil to you thus far. If you are unable to control your temper - that's on you. Of course it doesn't do a great deal for the case you're trying to make for yourself.

I don't no. But I do know that if I were to post obscene material (for example) on this board - that it would quickly be removed.

I'm not sure why this is so difficult to understand - you're simply seeing double standards where there aren't any.

Refer back to #68.

This is not the K1 forum. If you want advice and to offer visa advice, this is not the forum to do it in. OT is a rough and tumble place. Hang if you like, but you really want to have your ducks if you're going to be taken seriously.

I don't see any TOS here...........from anyone. Especially me.

I don't have to defend myself.

I really don't give a #######............

If EWOK wants to throw someone off the board, well let him do it.

Paul, if you think I'm not being civil, then I'm sorry.

But please understand that there is no reason for me not to be civil. Because I really don't care.

All I wanna know is, why are you guys so serious? lighten up man.........

don't u know the world ends in 2012?

You don't have to defend yourself - but you chose to introduce this tangent about constitutional rights in relation to your defense of a comment that a lot of people found to be in poor taste.

I'm not asking you to take me seriously at all. In fact I'll be the first to say that I'm full of #######....

But that's the idea.......why do you want to take me, or anyone one of these jokester so seriously like we commited a felony?
