>you must disallow private phone calls and communications between private citizens because that's censorship!!! That's completely different, we are talking about an open fucking forum here. Is there a expectation of privacy in a poal thread? >You want something different than free speech I don't know where you got that idea. >Im tired of it all. I get it, but we need to fight the hordes no matter how tiring it may be. We have to do something other than give shills *literal functions to use against us*. >I have no interest in promoting a platform for commies, niggers, kikes to proselytize from. None. Does that really mean letting users have the ability to block others is a good idea? That's the easy way out, and a weak way of thinking. Better to let them try and fail under the public eye. >Just like if I were to make my own private group among my friends and allow free speech it WOULD NOT BE CENSORSHIP if I were to disallow someone from joining the group. Sure, that's true. >Just as it's not censorship here. The problem is that would be disallowing commenting on a *public* forum. Any infringement on public discussion is censorship, no? Or are you saying poal threads are private discussion? Because I can't agree with that assessment. >You need to really get over this idea that you're owed anything. That you're owed an account here. That you're owed the ability to post here. This is a private website, you need an account to post etc. There is some truth to this, I suppose. >I'm done with this conversation. That's fine. >You are the reason why free speech is a garbage as fuck ideal to have when there are enemies within that will destroy you with it. Enemies cannot destroy anything with free speech! Their tactics fail time and time again when they aren't protected by censorship. >You love the ideal, but you are either too dishonest to admit the cost, are not intelligent enough to realize the cost, or fully know the cost and are a shill. >the cost of free speech What cost? Shill/communist/jew tactics won't work if one can simply point them out and combat them through honest discourse. Truth will prevail, we don't need to block or ban anyone other than those who truly abuse the system outside of using words. Perhaps I'm ignorant of what censorship is, and I will concede that blocking a user/not letting them comment in your threads is not necessarily censorship in it's purest, constitutional form. It is however the first step of many that will eventually lead to not being able to call out jewry or say nigger due to impoliteness or some other such nonsense. I've seen it before, and don't wish to see it happen again here. I've said all I wish to say, and you've made some compelling arguments, but I still have to disagree that blocking users is a good idea.
