You know you could have came here today and started an insightful debate regarding the merits and the rational of the image but instead you chose to come here demanding the temporary image is censored while insulting anyone who dares to question your rational and that says a lot about your personality, I dont like the tone you have and I could with a mouse click delete your post or indeed all your posts but you are expressing yourself freely so as I support free expression I have to tolerate you although I'm not forced to engage with you but I suspect that is something beyond your comprehension.

So we don't draw comparisons then?
Let's say court X gives a child murderer 1 year in jail. It gives a file sharer 10.
Is pointing out the lesser sentence child murderer for a specific "cause" in bad taste? Heck - I think not only would the file sharing community be disgusted, but the parents of the kid would be too. Likewise, the conditions a prisoner receives are also up for debate.
The media often makes comparisons between sentence length / conditions and severity. It's common practice everywhere, and the bay is no different.
How else do you fix a flawed judicial system? Pretend bad things don't happen?

Freedom of speech is fine, but flaming is not, and freedom stops where you start calling each other names. It was my understanding that in forums there are usually rules again personal insults. Actually the O.P. was not the one to start, the other one was the first who called him "retarded" in a very polemic tone and started the fight ... And of course the O.P. was absolutely wrong to take the bait and to insult him in return.
I don't see forum rules on the navigation bar above, you probably didn't have the time to make them, as the new forum is ... new, but maybe it was high time that you made some (there are some excellent rule pages on other forums to get inspired from).

Perhaps you should start at post 1 then note the OP calling people ignorant and 'looking like a fellow psychopath' then look at the thread holistically within the context of a site set against censorship and then ask yourself if the OP's behavior is not in fact retarded.

That's Freedom of Speech - You can agree or disagree, and you can have a reasonable, rational discussion about the topic at hand - but no matter what the issue you or others have, you must remember to respect that view, and not get so bent out of shape if the majority doesn't agree or see things your way.

I did read it all. I make it a point of reading everything before forming an opinion.
I'm not at all taking sides regarding the essence of the matter, mind you. Just the level of the debate.
And I again say that on both sides there have been ad hominem attacks which don't look nice.
I would have liked the discussion to be cleaner, I would have liked to be part of a forum where the moderators - including a super mod like you - make it their business to ensure that it remains civil.
If it doesn't happen, it's not a dealbreaker, I'll still stay here, but I'd be happier if it were. That's all. My 2 cents. Sorry if what I wrote displeased you in any way, but I felt I had to say it.

Sometimes a bit of probing reveals a lot about a person and in this instance we have established that the only difference between the OP and Breivik is Breivik acted upon his hopes.
